Epiretinal membrane is a disease of the eye in response to changes in the vitreous humor or more rarely diabetes. It is also called macular pucker. Sometimes as a result of immune system response to protect the retina cells converge in the macular area as the vitreous ages and pulls away in posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). PVD can create minor damage to the retina stimulating exudate inflammation and leucocyte response.
