Like Dr. Hagar mentioned there is a lot variability in restoration of vision after ERM surgery, and mine took about a year to get back close to the point it was before.
Thank you Dr. Hagan. My retina surgeon says that the entire membrane was removed. It was quite thick. The foveal depression has not reformed, but he says that I don't need it to have improved vision, but that it takes time. Do you know what the average times for improvement are. I am 2 months out from surgery.
It could be either. It could also be that your optometrist or ophthalmologist is just seeing the ERM around the edge of the macula. They sometimes will leave the edge of a large ERM and just remove the section over the macula and not the paramacular area. I would ask the retina surgeon.
