The Arctic Circle, incidentally, is an imaginary line located at 66Âº, 30'N latitude, and as a guide defines the southernmost part of the Arctic. The climate within the Circle is very cold and much of the area is always covered with ice.
A macular pucker usually requires no treatment. In many cases, the symptoms of vision distortion and blurriness are mild, and no treatment is necessary. People usually adjust to the mild visual distortion, since it does not affect activities of daily life, such as reading and driving.
Such is the case with the macular pucker peel procedure, which has been performed only since about the mid-1990s. I have just had this procedure done on my left eye, and I hope that what I write will help others who are contemplating the surgery.
