Can a macular hole be treated with eye drops or injections instead of surgery?
A full-thickness macular hole often requires surgery, usually involving vitrectomy and a gas bubble. Treatment depends on the size and duration of the hole and the condition of the vitreous. Some early changes can be monitored. OCT is important for determining the type and extent of the hole.
