Were you able to find a good Retina specialist in Dallas?
How are you doing now.. I hope everything turned out well for you.
I am also looking for one. Can you share the information.
Dear Sunshine,
Having lamellar holes in both eyes must be truly distressing. I have one in my left eye, and was told by my RS that he would watch it, and do surgery if it became a full thickness hole. My symptoms in theory should not have been too bad, and I was willing to live with the lamellar hole, but further elaboration of the symptoms caused the RS to say I also have myopic macular degeneration. As I say, whatever it is, this is a very distressing thing. I am 57 and need to work at least 5 more years, etc. etc. My RS said the likelihood that the lamellar hole would progress to a full thickness hole was not much, but surgery has improved and much better outcomes are available now, than even a few years ago. This was surprising to me, since I have tried to get info via the internet, and surprise: much of it is outdated, or not really representative. Get to a retinal clinic in a large teaching hospital.
Full thickness macular holes are treated with vitreous surgery and any skilled retina vitreous surgeon can fix it. Lamellar holes are not usually treated.
