A Macular Pucker is a film of scar tissue that lies on the macula, which is the central vision area of the retina at the back of the eye. When it wrinkles and contracts, this creates creases or bulges within the macula causing visual disturbances such as blurred central vision, difficulty reading or performing detailed tasks, cloudy area in the central area, central blind spot and/or
distortion.
