There is surgery available to release the puckers. The results are not instantaneous, but it is working for my husband. His vision is improving month-by-month since surgery in July, and the doctor expects it will continue to do so for up to a year. The surgery is called a vitrectomy, and is performed as an outpatient procedure by a specialized ophthalmologist. One eye is done at a time.
Has your doc suggested this option?
