It is a delicate surgery of the macula which requires removal of internal limiting membrane of retina( internal sheet of layer on retina) & injection of gas at the end. Patients need to follow prone position for atleast 3-4 days after surgery, moving around only for toilet & eating. Rest of the time maintaining prone position is crucial for the success of the surgery. Those who can’t sleep in prone position, we need to inject silicone oil which needs to be removed after 3-4 months.
Visual recovery depends on how early surgery was performed after macular hole development- early surgery leads to better outcomes
