Anyone know how JodiJ's doing?

I followed her journey through ERM peel to ILM peel to IOL.  My situation is similar.  My surgeon didn't remove all my ERM in 2013.  I now need ILM peel according to Dr. Steve Charles in Germantown, TN.  Saw him 7/28 and he said my cataract too dense for him to see through, thus need cataract surgery first.  Have appointment to see Dr. R.J. Mackool in NY this Sept.

Like JodiJ, I also have aniseikonia in right eye (the operated on eye for ERM).  Hers caused images in the operated on eye to appear about 20% bigger.  And since her operated on eye had 20/20, the aniseikonia gave her binocular double vision.  Dr. Charles did an ILM peel for her in 2012 (or was it 2013?) and about a year later she posted that her aniseikonia had reduced by about 50%, and also reduced her double vision, but not completely.  She then started wearing a contact lens (-3 IIRC) and glasses (+3 IIRC),which eliminated her binocular double vision.

Like Jodi, Images in my right eye are about 20%.  Like Jodi, Dr. Charles said I need ILM.  LIke Jodi, I need IOL.  I just wanted to see how she's doing 4 years after her ILM peel and if she's still using contacts and glasses; and ask some questions to see if I'm doing everything I could be doing for myself, and what else I can or should be doing.

Thanks everyone.
