A member asked:
I have a epiretinal membrane. dr said he isn't too concerned but will check it in a year. why does it need to be monitored?

Monitor for vision : Most empire tonal membranes do not require intervention. However if it progresses causing vision distortion, vitreomacular traction, retinal swelling or intraretinal cystic changes then removal may be indicated. This is surgery performed only by a vitreoretinal specialist.
