a full thickness defect in this important location of the retina
a hole in the central portion of the retina, the macula
a lesion in the fovea - that part of the macula or central part of the retina used for reading
a partial or full-thickness hole in the center of the retina or in the macular region
a small break in the macula, located in the center of the eye's light-sensitive tissue called the retina
a small hole in the macula which is in the centre of the retina
a tear or a defect of the foveal retina involving its full thickness from the internal limiting
defect of central part of macula resembling a hole
A full thickness defect of the neurosensory retina at the fovea, ultimately causing legal blindness.
A full thickness defect of the neurosensory retina at the fovea. Untreated may lead to legal blindness.
A microscopic hole that can appear in the macula.
Hole in the eye's macula; many doctors believe it can be caused by vitreous shrinkage as we age. Symptoms include blurring or a blind spot in central vision.
Condition where the vitreous gel tugs at the macula and tears a bit of it away. Results in a permanent gray spot in vision directly where one is looking. Often caused by trauma.
A macular hole is almost always a spontaneous development that occurs predominantly in women. The development of a macular hole progresses through several stages, and with each progressive stage the vision may worsen. The vitreous gel inside the eye is firmly attached to the macula. With age, the vitreous becomes thinner and separates from the retina. Sometimes this creates traction on the macula, causing a hole to form.
A defect in the macula. See the Macular Hole FAQ.
