Sounds like you are way ahead of me. I was going to recommend Dr. Charles in Memphis. I would trust his opinion regarding ILM peel as he is one of the most prolific and groundbreaking surgeons in the retina field. I can't possibly have anything to add to his opinion.

Thanks, Dr. Houman. I live in the southeast. I'm willing to travel to see a doctor who might be able to help me.
I have, of course, already had vitrectomy, so I should have no vitreomacular traction causing the CME. An ILM peel has been discussed with me. I have already spoken with two well known specialists, Peyman in Arizona and Charles in Memphis. Neither were very encouraging about ILM peel. However, I do have a slight EMP visible on the dilated exam but not showing a pucker on the OCT. I wonder if this membrane creates traction or at least creates a barrier to pharmacological agents.
Please comment and make suggestions.
I don't see how it would help in any way. Which part of the country are you in. Rarely, surgery could help improve CME (under specific circumstances). You would have to go to a very experienced and near famous retina specialist though to make sure you may be a candidate.
