I congratulate you on the excellent virtual demonstration. Offers a comprehensive way to study the visual disadvantage caused by macular hole and can not suggest ways to improve vision in patients who have not been able to help with surgery or whose visual defect persists despite surgical closure of macular hole. I think the real impact of macular hole in the patient's vision is neglected in the video because the deformed area occupies only a small percentage of the center of the image when , although small in size, macular area occupies a large percentage of the field aware of vision. For example , reading a book , the patient is unable to read small type in the video letter, even learning to use your peripheral vision. Again, I congratulate you on the virtual interpretation of the problem .
