The term "macular" describes several conditions that may affect the macula. It, by itself, is not a disease.

Epiretinal membranes, ERM or macular pucker are a non-blinding cause of decreased vision. The earlier the membrane is removed, the better the visual results.

Vitrectomy for macular pucker is my favorite surgery. I recommend surgery as soon as you notice changes in the vision.
