Immediate or delayed surgery for vision changes from ERM
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares doing ERM surgery right away versus waiting at least 4 weeks to see if your vision stays stable. It may help people decide the safest timing for surgery when the membrane in the retina (ERM) is causing symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 45 or older
- Your eye test shows vision of 20/40 or better (or at least 69 letters) in the study eye
- Your eye specialist believes ERM is the main cause of your vision loss or distortion
- An eye scan (OCT) shows ERM affecting the center part of the macula and causing central distortion
- You and your study doctor are willing to wait at least 4 weeks before surgery (if needed)
- You do not have certain eye conditions or recent eye procedures that would make waiting or surgery unsafe

This trial is testing a new software tool that helps doctors see and assess different parts of the retina in eye scans. It aims to see how well the tool works in people with and without certain retina conditions.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for people with an epiretinal membrane, a thin layer of scar tissue on the retina that can blur or distort vision. The goal is to see if a smaller, less invasive approach is safe and effective.
This study checks how the retina changes after surgery to remove a wrinkled layer (epiretinal membrane). It's for people who already have had cataract surgery and are having the membrane removed because their vision is warped or blurry.
This study looks at epiretinal membrane (a thin layer of scar tissue on the surface of the retina) in people with diabetes and diabetic retinopathy. It aims to understand how this membrane affects vision and how it relates to the severity of diabetic eye disease.
This study tests combining vitrectomy (surgery to remove the membrane from the retina) with a dexamethasone implant (a tiny steroid that is placed inside the eye to reduce swelling) for people with a specific type of eye membrane and fluid buildup in the center of the retina.
This study tests a special intraocular lens (IOL) implanted during cataract surgery in people who also have epiretinal membrane (ERM), a thin layer of scar-like tissue on the retina. The goal is to see if this lens works well and safely for their eyes.
