I have an ERM in my left eye along with a mild cataract and some intermediate dry macular degeneration. I have been told they won't consider surgery until the corrected vision in that eye reaches 20/50. Mine currently sits at 20/35 approx. Images in that eye appear 25%-40% larger when I close my right eye and then my left eye and compare images sizes. The images in the left eye are also very wavy. It is very annoying and I find myself often closing my left eye when reading which I am researching is not a good thing.

@mikena I have the same problem. It's frustrating. I help out at my seniors group as the newsletter editor, and I have to shut my left eye when I'm working because of the double vision issue. I've been given the option for surgery, but I've been too chicken to go through with it! Eventually, I know I'll have to do it.
