An epiretinal membrane, commonly called a macular pucker, is thin, film-like scar tissue that can develop over the central part of the retina known as the macula. This area of the retina is responsible for your clear central vision.
Treatment is often unnecessary for mild forms of macular puckers. If your condition is more severe, vitrectomy surgery may be recommended, which involves the removal of the scar tissue and the vitreous gel for improvement of vision.
