A member asked:
Diagnosed with epiretinal membrane, that dr will watch. also have early glaucoma & early cataracts in same eye. which condition would be causing glare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated: They all can cause decreased vision. If the glaucoma is "early" your doctor can stop its effect. The cataract can easily be corrected with surgery. The epiretinal membrane, if it gets worse, can also be fixed with surgery. Both the cataract and erm can cause glare symptoms, but more likely the cataract.
