Lejla Vajzovic, MD, FASRS, an ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon at Duke Ophthalmology, gave a presentation on treating pediatric epiretinal membranes at Retina 2022.
“Pediatric epiretinal membranes are rare,” Vajzovic said. “They often present in younger patients after trauma from various ocular disorders.”
