A macular hole is a small break in the macula, located in the center of the eye's light-sensitive tissue called the retina. The macula provides the sharp, central vision we need for reading, driving, and seeing fine detail. A macular hole can cause blurred and distorted central vision. Macular holes are related to aging and usually occur in people over age 60.

The three stages of a macular hole are as follows:

Foveal detachments (Stage I). Without treatment, about half of Stage I macular holes will progress.

Partial-thickness holes (Stage II). Without treatment, about 70 percent of Stage II macular holes will progress.

Full-thickness holes (Stage III).
