I have just been diagnosed with this. I went to tele hospital to see the consultant as I had recently noticed some odd symptoms in the vision of my left eye ( all fine in eye test in June) . I am type 2 diabetic so soon afterwards had my annual retinopathy test and found when my right eye was covered I could not read the letters of the eye test as they were blurred and moving. I was advised to go back to my optician and she thought I had a particular, slightly rarer form of cataract so referred me to the hospital, unbeknown to me so had the retinopathy service. I went to the hospital expecting to discuss treatment for a cataract only to be told it was this macular hole which is more serious, I do have a cataract as well. I have been put on the waiting list for surgery possibly quite soon, as if this is not done I will eventually lose my vision in that eye. I came out of the appointment quite upset as I had not been expecting it, I had gone on my own, and the doctor did not have a very good bedside manner, he was very matter of fact and did not seem to have much empathy or realise I might be a bit shell shocked. I did not ask all the questions I should have because I was so tea keen aback and wonder if there is anyone on here who might have some experience of this condition and perhaps give me a bit of reassureance. I've been told I won't be able to see at all out of the eye the day after and will see very badly out of it for about 2 months, recovering my sight as it was before around 6 months later. It all feels a bit daunting and I'm feeling a bit scared and vulnerable.
