In my previous question regarding surgery risks, you listed cataract,retinal detachment and 10% risk of CME. I have had previous lens replacement that cuts cataract risk to zero and prophylactic cryoplexy to my peripheral retina that should greatly reduce but not eliminate RD risk. However, I do have long-standing CME (2 years) with some leakage showing on FA. The severity is mild at present. Could the CME flair up and be even more severe and difficult to control if I have the membrane peeled? What does the fact that there is some leakage on the angiogram say about the the cause of my chronic CME? As was the subject of the previous question, does leakage correlate to the ERM as a causative factor?
