Macular hole repair is a surgical procedure used to treat a macular hole, a small break in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. This condition can cause blurred or distorted central vision and, if left untreated, may lead to permanent vision loss.

The most effective treatment for a macular hole is vitrectomy surgery, in which the eye surgeon removes the gel-like vitreous humor inside the eye and replaces it with a gas bubble to help the macula heal properly.
