My Eyesight with a Macular Hole

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 vision was unaffected.

 

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.
