Macular Hole:
A macular hole is a rare eye condition that can impair central vision, which is essential for everyday activities like driving or reading.
The macula is a small, central area of the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. A macular hole occurs when an opening develops in the macula, usually due to stretching or pulling. Most macular holes arise from natural changes in the eye associated with aging.
Some individuals with macular holes may experience mild symptoms and might not require immediate treatment. However, if a macular hole is enlarging, worsening, or causing significant vision problems,
Symptoms of a Macular Hole:
If the unaffected eye has good vision, symptoms of a macular hole may go unnoticed. When symptoms do appear, they typically develop gradually.
Initially, you may observe distortion or blurring when looking straight ahead. Lines or straight objects, such as window frames, might appear bent, wavy, or as if a piece is missing in the centre. Everyday activities like reading, writing, or driving may become more challenging.
Over time, a blurred or blind spot may develop in your central vision. While reading, you may see the lines but miss letters or words in the centre. You might be able to see a person’s face but miss details like their nose or eyes.
Causes:
In most cases, a macular hole occurs due to age-related changes in the eye.
As you age, the vitreous—a clear, gel-like substance that fills the eye and maintains its shape—shrinks and pulls away from the retina. This process, known as vitreous detachment, is a normal part of aging.
In some individuals, the vitreous is more firmly attached to the macula, and as it detaches, it can pull on the macula, leading to a macular hole.
Risk Factors for Macular Hole:
- Having had a macular hole in one eye increases the likelihood of developing one in the other eye; approximately 1 in 10 people with a macular hole in one eye will develop one in the other.
- Being 60 years of age or older.
- Being very nearsighted.
- Having experienced an eye injury or undergone eye surgery.
