Statistics and Associations
- Cellular membrane growth/proliferation across retinal surface
- Common risk factors: idiopathic, trauma, ocular surgery/laser treatment
- Depending on location, can cause traction and wrinkling in macula (macular pucker) which can significantly decrease vision
Management
- Amsler grid for daily monitoring
- Surgical intervention if vision markedly reduced (20/60)
- 75% show improvement in vision after surgery
