My retina specialist is recommending surgery, but I wonder if surger is necessary in light of what I have read in an earlier post where Dr. Kutryb wrote that a complete hole can't get any worse. Do you know what percentage of macular holes do not progress further and vision does not deteriorate any further?
Dear jonicar,
As the vision diminished recently, it may warrant surgical intervention. Nonetheless, I would recommend that you ask your retinal specialist this question.
