Gas-Free eye surgery could revolutionize macular hole repair

This study tests a new surgical technique to close macular holes in people with high myopia without using a gas bubble. The standard approach requires a gas bubble that blurs vision and forces patients to keep their head down for days. The new method uses a gel-like substance to hold the hole closed, potentially making recovery easier and safer. The study will enroll 20 adults with high myopia and a full-thickness macular hole to see if the technique works and is safe.
