Complications After Macular Hole Surgery

Hello, Complications following macular hole surgery include: First, short-term postoperative symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and tearing. Second, failure of the macular hole to close—a relatively common occurrence. Third, if only a vitrectomy for the macular hole is performed, cataract formation—or accelerated cataract progression—may occur postoperatively; in some patients, intraocular pressure fluctuations may also develop after surgery. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
