Epiretinal membrane
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi, I'm having laser surgery on my right eye next Tuesday. Have been told I have Epiretinal membrane and I opted for laser first to see if it would help, although was told it probably wouldn't, I'm really worried that I may have to have surgery, has anyone else had this and had the surgery, what was it like and am I worrying for nothing...I had cataract surgery in both eyes in 2017

I too was told I have an epiretinal membrane, following a cataract operation. My Consultant told me I may want a vitrectomy at some point.

My second post is another link which I think is helpful, from the RNIB
Don't worry Barbara, you could telephone the RNIB helpline, they are very helpful.

Hi Barbara,
Did the laser help with your condition? This is what the doctor also told my dad.
