Macular hole in high myopia – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1272463333

This is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus, but in focus when looking at a close object. This diagnosis is with a small break in the macula, located in the centre of the eye's light-sensitive tissue called the retina.
