Managing Epiretinal Membranes
An epiretinal membrane, or macular pucker, forms when scar tissue develops on the macula, the area of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. This condition can cause blurred or distorted vision, impacting daily tasks like reading or recognizing faces. Our skilled physicians can help diagnose and treat this condition to improve your overall quality of life.
Understanding Epiretinal Membranes
Caused by changes in the eye’s aging fluid, these membranes can lead to visual distortion or blurriness as scar tissue forms on the macula.
Elective Treatment Options
Individuals with mild symptoms often find that cataract surgery or careful monitoring may be all that’s needed to improve vision.
When Surgery is Considered
Surgery to remove the membrane is reserved for cases where vision loss becomes significant (20/40 or worse), making it a highly selective and minimally invasive option.
Focus on Precision and Comfort
If needed, the peeling procedure is performed with advanced techniques to ensure a safe and effective treatment tailored to preserving retinal health.
