Treating macular holes with surgery
A macular hole is a small gap or defect in the macula, the most sensitive part of the retina. It can cause blurring and distortion of vision. Revered consultant ophthalmologist Mr Abdallah Ellabban, who is based in East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull, explains how macular holes can be treated surgically. He discusses the success rate of the surgery and what would happen if the condition is left untreated.
