Ask an Eye M.D. Answer Archive

Question:
Post-surgical repair of a partial detachment and torn retina has caused scarring. What can be done to resolve this?  

Answer:
If the scarring is on the surface of the retina, like an epiretinal membrane, then this can be removed by vitrectomy surgery with epiretinal membrane dissection.
