Ozone is not visible to our eyes (anymore than oxygen or unpolluted air is).
So we can't see the hole in the ozone layer with our eyes. And the largest hole is over the Antarctic, so it would be hard to see even if it was a visible phenomenon.
It can only be seen with the appropriate imaging equipment from the air or from Earth orbit.

Hey, ozone is a gas and we can't see gas.........
Ozone is not visible by naked eye....

Since ozone is a strong oxidizer, it changes the color of some chemical compounds and solutions. For example, paper soaked in a mixture of starch and potassium iodide will change color when exposed to ozone.

The reaction of ozone with various chemicals, gases, and even some lubricating oils causes a faint luminescence that can be detected by a sensitive photomultiplier tube. Detection systems such as this are known as chemiluminescence detectors

These are used to detect holes in ozone layer...

Hi. Only with image processing, but not to the naked eye.
