2024年12月30日 · Epiretinal membranes are specifically made up of glial cells. These cells are associated with your nerves but aren’t functional nerve cells. Instead, they serve a supportive role within your ...

Epiretinal Membranes (ERMs), also commonly known as cellophane maculopathy or macular puckers, are avascular (having few or no blood vessels), semitranslucent, fibrocellular membranes that form on the inner surface of the retina.

2024年10月17日 · Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a semi-clear membrane that can form over your retina’s inner surface. It often causes minimal symptoms, but some people have vision loss or distorted...

2023年2月6日 · What is macular pucker? A macular pucker is a wrinkling of your retina due to scar tissue. Other terms for this scar tissue are epiretinal membrane (ERM) or cellophane maculopathy. The retina is the part of your eye covered with special nerve cells that react to light. Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center.

Epiretinal membrane or macular pucker is a disease of the eye in response to changes in the vitreous humor or more rarely, diabetes. 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).

An epiretinal membrane (ERM) aka as macular pucker is a pathologic fibrocellular tissue caused by proliferation of myofibroblastic cells at the vitreo-retinal interface. It is semi-translucent and proliferates on the surface of the internal limiting membrane.

2024年10月31日 · Macular pucker (also called epiretinal membrane) happens when wrinkles, creases or bulges form on your macula. The macula must lie flat against the back of your eye to work properly. When the macula wrinkles or bulges, your central vision is affected. With macular pucker, things can look wavy, or you may have trouble seeing details.

2017年10月18日 · Epiretinal membranes (ERMs) are thin tissues that can form a layer on the inside of the retina. Symptoms include a loss or distortion of vision and difficulty reading small print.

2023年7月24日 · Epiretinal membrane is a commonly occurring condition affecting the posterior pole of the retina over the macula. It appears as a greyish semi-translucent avascular membrane over the internal limiting membrane (ILM) on the surface of the retina.

2024年5月21日 · Understanding the causes, symptoms, and diagnosis of an epiretinal membrane is crucial for early detection and treatment. Epiretinal membrane is a condition that can cause vision distortion and blurriness. Surgery is often necessary to remove the …
