A member asked:
Vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane. as vision improves over 4-6 mos., can prescription be adjusted so i can see well enough to do my job 1-2 weeks after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The recovery of vision depends on the film in the back of the eye resting back to its original position. The epiretinal membrane distorted retina and it will take some time for the retina to recover. Regardless of what lens you have in front of your eyes, the film won't work any better to capture a better image.
