Symptoms & Causes of Macular Pucker (Macular Hole)
Macular Pucker/Epiretinal Membrane (ERM):
- Scar Tissue Formation: Macular Pucker occurs when a thin, fibrous layer of scar tissue forms on the macula. This layer contracts over time, causing the retinal surface to wrinkle or pucker, leading to visual distortions such as blurriness, wavy vision, or difficulty focusing on fine details.
- Visual Distortion: The contraction of the fibrous tissue can cause straight lines to appear wavy, and objects may seem smaller or more distant than they actually are. This visual distortion is often the first symptom noticed by individuals with Macular Pucker.
- Reduced Visual Acuity: As the condition progresses, central vision may become increasingly blurry, making tasks like reading and recognizing faces more difficult.
Macular Hole:
- Development of a Central Hole: A macular hole is a small break that forms in the macula. This condition can be caused by the natural aging process, where the vitreous gel inside the eye shrinks and pulls away from the retina, creating a tear or hole.
- Central Vision Loss: Individuals with a macular hole often experience a sudden decrease in central vision, where the center of the visual field may appear dark or blurred. Over time, this can lead to significant vision loss if not treated.
- Causes and Risk Factors: Macular holes are more common in people over the age of 60 and can also be associated with trauma, retinal detachment, or high myopia. In some cases, they may develop spontaneously without a clear cause.
