epiretinal membrane pain?
Hello. My eye doctor is monitoring an epiretinal membrane in my left eye. It seems to be very slowly detaching with the use of Lotemax and Nevanac eye drops, with a small section yet to go. Today I experienced a sharp pain in my left eye while reaching for something, then a couple minutes of tears flowing. I've experienced that pain (tho not as sharp) a couple of times during this period. Felt like an eyelash in the eye, but there was nothing visible in my eye. bWhat are the possible causes? Could it be the membrane separating? Look forward to your thoughts.
Could epiretinal membrane be removed with with the use of Lotemax and Nevanac eye drops ? Thank you !

Epiretinal membrane separation does not cause pain. This pain is most likely due to the cornea. If it continues, you should see your ophthalmologist. Rarely, corneal problems can be associated with Nevanac.
