Macular hole is an eye disorder affecting the macula (the section of the eye responsible for processing light signals and clear, sharp vision). It refers to the development of a slit or hole in the macula. The extent to which a macular hole affects vision depends upon the location of the hole, its size and whether full or partial thickness of the macula is affected. A macular hole can distort vision and often requires surgical treatment.
