Macular Hole recently diagnosed
I’m writing this as of January 2026.
I am wondering if anyone has looked into other options than the traditional gas filled bubble surgery, where you have to recover laying face down for several days.
I have done some research and it looks like there may be a few new technology/options out there
One being an eye-drop the other FOVEA – sparring verse flap embedding.
Not sure I have that correct
Any insight would be helpful

I had surgery for a hole in the macular but it was years ago. At the time I rented on of those massage chairs and used until the gas bubble dissolved. It was a success and eye doctors thought it looked like very great surgery. Now twenty years later I have problems with that eye. They say I have a wrinkle. When I got or was it was always there I have not a clue. I can see on eye tests but letters jump in and out but only I can see that. That it means nothing to the doctor. I can read the chart! I feel like I have poor vision but they say not because I see the letters. I guess I should stop trying so hard to read them.
