How long before a macular hole closes after surgery?

How long before a macular hole closes after surgery?

I had macular hole surgery on 1/3/11.  How long does it take for the hole to close?  According to my doctor the edges have flattened.  I know there is improvement: no distortion, I can see print, etc. above the bubble without my contacts, I could see the features on y doctor's face whereas before I saw a blank spot on a person's face.  I am concerned that even with more days face down, the hole may never close.  If not, could it possibly get larger???

Some holes do fail to close. Only time will tell. Use the search feature and archives to read the many informative posts from people that have had this surgery.
