I was diagnosed with macular puckers 12 years ago. I few weeks ago, I had cataract surgery on left eye, and had initial elevated eye pressure post-surgery and also words/letters wavy now, whereas before surgery words/letters were not wavy. I was wondering if this could be the result of temporary inflammation or as the Dr suggested having enhanced symptoms from the macular puckers as result of cataract removal. Has any one else had a similar experience? Everyone said that cataract was most successful, but now I'm afraid to have on my other eye. In order to read I have to read with my left eye closed, so lines are straight.

Similar to what I am going through. I have the epiretinal membrane in my left eye, probably from cataract surgery and it is getting worse. Everything is a little blurry when reading. I often close the eye to see more clearly as you mentioned doing. My specialist said that as I have scar tissue in the eye he can't operate!? So what happens, it gets worse and worse and nothing can be done. I'm rather depressed about it as you can tell. I have an appointment in June, I'll see what he says. I'm wondering if anyone else with this problem has been told about scar tissue and if it was resolved. Thank you.
