    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.

    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!

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