Macular holes are a blinding condition that occur due to overuse of the fovea, in which a
hole alters the natural retinal structure. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a way of
mapping and shaping retinal sections without physical contact and has become a powerful
tool for diagnosing pathologies. This paper deals with a review of automated segmentation
of macular holes in OCT images, detailing its varied possibilities. It may be considered
something new, no reviews were made about the topic. The purpose of this review is to …

The retina is a part of the ocular system responsible for vision. In the central region of the
retina is the macula, that enables detailed view. There is a distinct macular disease called
Macular Hole (MH). It causes a condition of low vision related to the weakening of the fovea,
high myopia, eye trauma and severe exposure to the sun. A surgery depends of the size and
shape of the MH. A macular hole can be identified in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
images through the top boundaries of the Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM) and the Retinal …
