He may also take a picture of the same and show it to you. Besides diagnosing macular hole clinically, a test called oct (optical coherence tomography) is done. The test helps to confirm and document a full thickness hole, and also helps in measuring the size, shape and other important characteristics which help in predicting whether the hole will close or no.<b><\/b><\/p><h6>Why did i get a macular hole? Will I get it in the other eye?<\/h6><p><b><\/b>Most macular holes are believed to be idiopathic in origin, which simply means that its exact cause is not known. it is known that holes form due to tangential traction at the macula but why it happens in some and not in others is not known. it is seen more commonly in females than in males. About a third of patients may develop a hole in the other eye at some point.<b><\/b><\/p><h6>What is the treatment of macular hole?<\/h6><p><b><\/b>Macular holes can only be treated with the help of surgery by a retinal surgeon. Sophisticated equipment called \u201cmicro incision vitreous surgery \u2013 mivs\u201d also called small gauge or sutureless vitrectomy is used. It is a day care procedure and patients are discharged almost immediately if they are comfortable.<b><\/b><\/p><h6>How are the results of surgery?<\/h6><p><b><\/b>The results of macular hole surgery depend on lot of factors including the size, shape and duration of the hole.
