Very straightforward and calming, thank you.
Thanks for the video. Having surgery this coming week and listening to commentary makes me confident I am making the right decision. Will let you know how it goes.
Thank you for saying not to be afraid...ive been scared to have it done for 7 months now. Its two weeks away and im just soooo scared but i know it will be worth it
Thank you so very much for this clip.
Thanks. Very helpful
I've had 3 surgeries so far, due to retinal detachment. My last was in May, just last month, Phacoemulsification and peeling of epiretinal membrane. My vision was better after about a week after the surgery compared to now, my operated eye is more sensitive to lights than before..
Was aware I had cataracts, but not close enough for surgery yet. Optometrist thought I had macular degeneration. Optholologist ruled that out, Said it is epiretinal membrane. Also stated the same about accelerating cataracts, which I think is a good thing. No more glasses, except for reading. Inserting those orange devices looks painful and scary, but I think you have calmed me down a bit, knowing what will be probably done during surgery. Thx!
Accelerates need for cataract surgery? Hmm not so sure now.
Do epiretinal membrane causes a small clear blind spot in the visual field?
What about when you're younger and get this after severe inflammation? Really bad night vision also
Had surgery about 2 weeks ago. Vision in eye not better. Doc says I have blood there. Wants to wait a couple more weeks to see if inprovement occurs. Says if not, there is treatment for it. what kind of treatment? Thanks
Will prescription glasses make vision better when there is epiretinal membrane? He a had cataract surgery approximately 6 years ago.

I have ERM and was told by my Ophthalmologist that RX glasses would not improve my vision.
