Epiretinal membrane is a disease of the eye in response to changes in the vitreous humor or more rarely, diabetes. It is also called macular pucker. Sometimes, as a result of immune system response to protect the retina, cells converge in the macular area as the vitreous ages and pulls away in posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). PVD can create minor damage to the retina, stimulating exudate, inflammation, and leucocyte response. These cells can form a transparent layer gradually and, like all scar tissue, tighten to create tension on the retina which may bulge and pucker (e.g. macular pucker), or even cause swelling or macular edema.
If you go to my blog you can read about diabetes and how to reverse it. You can also repair your eyes and save your vision by supplementing with Beta Caratine / Vitamin A. Vitamin A which is a fat soluble vitamin. If you have fat absorption problems you will not be able to absorb fat soluble nutrition. Read about repairing the digestive system on the same blog.
