The macula is responsible for the central area of our vision in the retina. A membrane may form over this area causing distortion or even a disruption of the retinal layers resulting in a “hole.” When this occurs, the membrane can be removed or peeled off the surface of the retina. Our retinal specialist frequently perform this delicate procedure along with a small incision vitrectomy. Air or gas is often temporarily placed in the eye to help the hole close.
