A member asked:
What to do if i have epiretinal membrane peel and vitrectomy plus a new lense?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epiretinal Membrane: Sounds like your doctor may have recommended surgery for your epiretinal membrane or macular pucker (ERM) as it is possibly affecting your vision. Not sure what you are asking re 'what to do'. Are you asking if you should have the surgery or are you asking what you can do after surgery? Deciding to have a surgical procedure such as ERM repair should be discussed in detail with your eye surgeon.
