A lot depends on IF the ERM is affecting vision. If not or only a little, then leave it alone. I had a macular pucker caused by my ERM, so I had vision issues. My vision was deteriorating as the ERM grew thicker. I could see the thickness change and the macula disappear.

@margieb58 I'm very sorry about your vision problem. Having vision problem is nerve-wrecking. I hope you find ways to release whatever negative feelings you might have.
I understant that , for some people, ERM may not lead to anything, but, for some other people, it has serious consequence.
I am still mystified about why retinal specialists keep on telling patients that nothing help ERM. I couldn't find any source of literature that says such. It's a strong statement full of consequences.
On the other hand, I doubt they would tell people not to control the systemic illness. Do you have high blood pressure, high blood sugar or high cholestrol? Are you prone to inflammation? Do you have dry eyes? It is always a good thing to control them, which may or may not help ERM.
I'm doing as much research as I can to find out the likely source of inflammation of my body. Today I learned that extremely high HDL can make the body prone to inflammation, so I need to do something about it.
