A member asked:
Can a epiretinal membrane deteriorate? or can it get better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly stable: This is a condensation of the interface between the vitreous gel and the underlying macula of the retina. It can occur as a response to surgery, trauma but frequently is spontaneous. Most stabilize and do not progress. A smaller number will progress and surgery is generally offered. Improvement is very rare spontaneously.
