A member asked:
Does having drusins have any effect on having a vitrectomy for macular pucker due to scar tissue? vision progressively getting worse.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drusen: Do you have a photo or the fluorescein (FA) or your macular area? Were you told you have early macular degeneration? Usually drusen does not make vision worse on its own unless there is a clumping of drusen with new blood vessels growing underneath. A photo/FA would help. Consult with us to provide a more complete answer to your excellent question.
