Title
Macular Hole Repair
Artist
Merana Cadorette
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Thin Wrapped Canvas
Description
I discovered that my vision was warping lines in the center of my eyesight. Familiar with the Amsler grid for macular degeneration, I printed one up, and was rattled to discover the center was severely distorted.
Macular hole is when a tear or opening forms in your macula. As the hole forms, things in your central vision will look blurry, wavy or distorted. As the hole grows, a dark or blind spot appears in your central vision.
Fortunately, I found out quickly, and it is treatable and has a high rate of sucess.
This painting shows the Amsler grid, superimposed over my eye. Below, are the OCT (Optical coherence tomography) before and (one week) after images of the site of the hole. I have added a cross section of an eye, and some sample gas bubbles. There was only one in my eye, and it shrank a little every day...
The procedure used was a vitrectomy, in which part of the fluid is removed from my eye, and a gas bubble inserted to push the tear back into place to heal. A regime of medical eye drops, and limited travel and body positions keep the bubble in place as the eye heals and the gas slowly dissipates.

Fascinating procedure and treatment, wishing you the best in your recovery. My mother had issues with this problem but sadly in her day there was not much that could be done for it. Interesting information included.
