Treating Macular Puckers with Care
What happens when your macula develops a pucker? Macular puckers, though they sound complex, are treatable. Refocus Eye Health’s specialists offer personalized solutions to smooth out these wrinkles in your vision, ensuring your eyes see the world with clarity and precision.
What Are Macular Puckers, and How Do They Affect Your Sight?
A macular pucker is like a tiny wrinkle on your eye’s macula. This wrinkle can distort your vision, making things appear wavy or blurry. It’s a bit like looking through a wrinkled sheet of paper instead of a smooth one.
Why Do Macular Puckers Develop?
Macular puckers primarily develop with age, but they can also arise from various other contributing factors, including:
- Eye Trauma: Injuries or surgeries to the eye can trigger scar tissue formation on the macula.
- Vitreous Detachment: When the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside the eye separates from the retina, it can cause wrinkling on the macula.
- Retinal Tears or Detachment: Prior retinal issues may lead to macular puckers.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Diabetes-related changes in blood vessels can contribute to macular pucker development.
- Inflammation: Conditions like uveitis or eye inflammation can promote scar tissue formation.
