Macular hole surgery is a vitreoretinal procedure that repairs a small full-thickness defect in the macula — the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. The operation, formally called pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and gas tamponade, involves removing the vitreous gel inside the eye, peeling away a thin membrane from the retinal surface to release tension, and filling the eye with a gas bubble that gently presses the hole closed while it heals. It is recommended for patients with a confirmed full-thickness macular hole that is causing central vision loss or distortion. The procedure typically takes 45 to 90 minutes and is performed as a day-care admission under local anaesthesia with sedation. Recovery requires several days of face-down head positioning to keep the gas bubble against the macula, with meaningful vision improvement usually unfolding over two to six months.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $400
