A Summary of Macular Pucker Treatments
In most cases, the
macular pucker symptoms of vision distortion and blurriness are mild, and no treatment is necessary. People usually adjust to the mild visual distortion, since it does not affect activities of daily life, such as reading and driving.
In rare cases, vision deteriorates to the point where it affects daily routine activities. When this happens, surgery may be recommended as a
macular pucker treatment. The procedure used for a macular pucker is called a
vitrectomy.
Using eyedrops, medications, or nutritional supplements as treatment will not improve vision distorted by a macular pucker. Sometimes, however, the scar tissue -- which causes a macular pucker -- separates from the retina, and the macular pucker clears up.
