Epiretinal Membrane (ERM): When a Thin Layer Forms Over the Retina •Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a condition where a thin, transparent layer of scar-like tissue forms on the surface of the retina, particularly over the macula—the area responsible for sharp central vision.• It usually develops due to age-related changes or after eye conditions like retinal tears or inflammation. •Symptoms may include blurred or distorted vision, straight lines appearing wavy, and difficulty reading or recognizing faces.• In mild cases, it may not cause significant problems.•If the membrane contracts, it can wrinkle the retina and affect vision. •Treatment depends on severity—mild cases may only require monitoring, while more advanced cases may need surgery (vitrectomy) to remove the membrane.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide detailed retinal evaluation and personalized care to manage epiretinal membrane effectively. •Early detection helps prevent vision deterioration and ensures better outcomes.#ERM #RetinaCare #EyeCare #HealthyEyes 👁️
