Posted By Patient Letter to the Editor On April 3, 2012 @ 7:15 am In Patient Questions,Retina | Comments Disabled

I have a macular hole.

Large full thickness, 700 microns, extensive surrounding subretinal fluid, yellow deposits on RPE within hole, mild epiretinal membrane.

My question is would you recommend gas or silicone oil to treat the macular hole?
