Surgery is usually the only recommended treatment for a macular hole. The chances for vision restoration is greater with early diagnosis and treatment.

The only option to having a macular hole is to have surgery. If you are able to catch it early, or before a hole has actually developed, restoring vision is a much better percentage. It is a relatively safe surgery and the pros by far out weigh the cons with this type of problem.

There are no feasible options to macular hole surgery. Macular hole surgery is an effective treatment that in the right surgical hands tends to be very succesful in repairing the hole. The return of vision is not guaranteed. The surgery normally last just over an hour and has only minimal risks of complications. Not treating is unadvisable.
