Macular Hole
A macular hole is a small opening that forms in the macula, the central area of the retina responsible for fine, detailed vision. It usually appears gradually and affects the sharpness with which objects are perceived straight ahead.
Frequent symptoms: blurry or distorted vision in the center of the visual field, straight lines that appear wavy, and difficulty reading or recognizing faces.
Common causes: it is related to aging changes in the vitreous, although it can also be associated with injuries or other eye conditions.
Which specialist assesses it? The ophthalmologist, particularly one who focuses on medical and surgical retina, is the right one to examine the back of the eye. If you notice persistent distortion in your central vision, it is advisable to schedule a review with this professional.
