| | Macular Hole |
 | | As with all surgical procedures, there are potential complications or side-effects associated with the repair of the macula hole. | | | Some patients, because of medical conditions or physical limitations, may be unable to comply with the positioning and would not likely be good candidates for this procedure. | | | When surgery is performed to close a macular hole, no laser treatment is applied to the hole itself, as laser can be damaging to the delicate central tissue of the macula. |

| | RVC: What is the Macula? |
| | It is at the center of the visual field-when looking directly at an object, you are seeing it with the macula, while the rest of the retina is involved with peripheral vision. | | | Fortunately, many diseases which effect the tiny macula may spare the rest of the retina, thereby preserving peripheral vision. | | | Diseases of the macula may interfere with "detail vision", making these activities more difficult. |

| | The blue-on-yellow macula grid and red-dots perimetry card combination tool is unique with its calibrated engineering based on clinical data, combining the principles of color desaturation, contrast sensitivity and visual field testing with the meaning of each tied to the others mathematically in terms of decibel scotomas, percentage contrast and dyschromatopsia for the first time. | | | It enables you to find out if there are disturbances in your vision caused by changes in the retina, macula, optic nerve and visual pathway to the brain. | | | Now there is a self-administered eye test for enhanced detection of macular disease and macular field defects at home or in the office, utilizing color vision, contrast sensitivity and visual field (perimetry) test principles for improved sensitivity. |

| | The Macula |
| | Certain conditions can affect the macula and, in turn, one’s central vision. | | | This can progress to the point of “doughnut” vision, where people’s faces are unrecognizable when looking directly at them, yet peripheral vision remains unaffected. | | | When one looks directly at something, the light from that object forms an image on one’s macula. |

| | For example, edema of the macula accounts for more than 90% of the severe vision loss in patients with diabetic retinopathy, and of course, age-related macular degeneration is the most significant disorder related to severe loss in patients over the age of fifty years. | | | The Macula Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization was established in 1978 to support basic and clinical research in vitreous, retinal and macular diseases, a major cause of blindness of all age groups. | | | Since it was formed, the Foundation has distributed grants and awards of approximately 15 million dollars earmarked for important clinical and scientific research and related teaching programs. |
