Can macular holes be cured?
Disease description:
In recent years, my father’s vision has progressively deteriorated; this year, his condition has worsened significantly, and he can now barely see anything. After visiting the hospital, the doctor diagnosed him with a macular hole. I would like to ask: Can a macular hole be cured?

Hello, macular hole is a relatively common ocular condition. In its early stages, it typically has minimal impact on the patient’s vision, and no intervention is usually required at this point. However, when the macular hole begins to affect vision—resulting in visual acuity decline—surgical treatment becomes necessary. Following surgery, the patient’s vision generally does not fully return to its pre-disease level. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
