Macular pucker
A macula pucker is a distortion of the macula from scar tissue growing on the surface of the macula or from the vitreous gel pulling on the macula. The wrinkles, creases or bulges formed lead to symptoms of blurred central vision, distorted or wavy central vision, difficulty reading or performing tasks that require detailed vision, and gray and/or cloudy areas in the central vision. Vitreous surgery with removal of the scar tissue is very successful in restoring vision and decreasing or eliminating distortion.
