This is a photo of my relative, Ella Schoen, age 13, taken in 1904. I had a macular hole affecting central vision in my left eye. Through photo editing software, I created an image of the visual distortions (metamorphosia) that I saw. Objects also appeared smaller than actual (micropsia). Peripheral (side) vision was unaffected. The final photo is my eyesight 9 months post-vitrectomy surgery – objects lean to the right, appear slightly thinner than actual and there is still a small round distortion/loss around the very center of my vision (I am looking directly between her eyes). My eyesight continues to improve, though I now also have a very common surgically-induced cataract.
I recently fell, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. Immediately following the fall, I noticed distorted vision in my right eye and will be undergoing vitrectomy surgery due to a macular hole for that eye as well (only 10-15 percent of patients have bilateral macular holes, having the condition in both eyes).
Sharing because I could find no good visualizations of what it is like to have a macular hole. Please feel free to use it for educational/editorial, modeling or machine learning purposes.
