I had macular pucker in both eyes four years apart, not right after cataract surgery. I have had cataract surgery in both eyes, that too,, was two years apart But the macular pucker did happen Ruth after cataract surgery. My Retina Specialist follows my dry Macular degeneration every year and he found the pucker. I had surgery for both. Before I had the second retina surgery , I had an AAION in the same eye and lost vision in that eye for about 3 months. Still don’t know why I had the eye stroke.
