This is also called cellophane
maculopathy or macular pucker. The central part of the retina develops
wrinkles. A very thin film or membrane on the surface retina starts
to shrink, and this causes the wrinkling.
If your sight is stable and not getting worse,
then surgery is not usually needed. Only a few people notice an
increase in the wrinkling. These are the patients that surgery
may help.
