Gas-Free eye surgery could fix holes in nearsighted Patients' vision

This study tests a new way to close a macular hole (a small gap in the center of the eye's retina) in people with severe nearsightedness. Instead of using a gas bubble after surgery, doctors use a gel-like substance to hold the hole closed. The goal is to avoid the blurry vision, travel restrictions, and other side effects that come with gas bubbles. Twenty adults with high myopia and a full-thickness macular hole will be treated and followed to see if the hole closes and vision improves.
