Ugh! That’s what happened to me. I’m having a vitrectomy done April 2 because the pucker is in my central vision. It’s also peripheral, but not as bad and not as bothersome. It’s also causing inflammation in the epi-retinal membrane of my right eye.
I put off having this done for the last six months, only having it rechecked every couple months. In my case it has gotten a little worse, and my surgeon says the earlier I address it the better the outcome will be. He also said it’s like a crunched up piece of paper. It will never be the same because there will always be some creases but at least it will stop the progression and slowly release the pucker.
Good luck to us both.
