Macula hole, macula pucker
Hi Everyone,
I am new to the community and I am hoping someone out there has some insight to share with me. I was just diagnosed with macula hole in my right eye and macula pucker in my left. I am scared out of my mind. Has anyone experienced either of these two syndromes and what advice to you have for me?
Thank you and all take good care, Ninajeanne

Me and my wife made our eyeglass / contact lense visit and both got diagnosed with small Cateracts. So we made the visits to the Opthalmologist and she was diagnosed with a macular hole. Her Cateracts were put on hold. I got both eyes done for Cataracts and she got her Macular Hole surgery. So we found out some doctors don't do any face down or face up recovery. She has to do 2 weeks face down. Hole closed so success there . I could have waited several years on my Cateract surgery except for pre-surgery except for a lot of glare during night driving. I can see like superman after surgery but it didn't clear up the glare and added to the original glare is Maddox Rod syndrome which produces its own glare. In a month or so I will be having a Yag laser procedure which has a low percentage of side effect chances. Both eyes have a capsular wrinkle which the Yag laser is supposed to even out the wrinkle . My reply is mostly to convey the eyes are a miracle and can be an adventure. Please excuse any type o' s . In the airport on my cell phone.
I was diagnosed with macular puckers in both eyes about 12 years ago, I didn't have any symptoms or visual problems other than being a high myope since childhood. Only cataract surgery in my left eye last February enhanced symptoms of the pucker, but I think I didn't get proper IOL. So with cataract surgery I see better but worse (pucker issue). As I understand a macular pucker is just a wrinkle, like you get on your face with aging, maybe shrinkage of vitreous as we age?
