Uncertain: It's not really possible to say. It may get worse, or may remain stable. Regular visits to your retina specialist with regular OCT testing are the best way to monitor things and look for changes.

Membrane: As long as vision stays at reasonable levels surgery is not indicated. Vision can remain at reasonable for years.
