I was diagnosed will CLL and has been in wait and watch.

My WBC is above 1 Lakh and platlets around 1 Lakh.

RBC and haemoglobin normal. No symptoms expect for enlarged spleen ( enlarged 4 inches).

Last week I went for routine eye check up. The doctor on examination found problem in my retina and recommended for eye scan. It revealed ERN a coating on retina and needs surgery. Has anyone experienced.I will be taking the opinion of my haematologist before surgery.

Is it related to CLL

Hi!

Are you talking about ERM...?

Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a condition where a sheet of naturally occurring cells develops on or above the surface of the central part of your retina, an area called the macula.

Also if you LOCK your post, you will get more response. 😀

Thanks . I was concerned when the ophthalmologist remarked that after operation I will sent the tissue for biopsy, since you are CLL.

Hi Ashwas,

-

I'm glad that JigFettler was able to identify your condition. I was about to compose a reply that talked about my external dry eye condition, but since that is very different than your internal retina issue, I stopped.

Thanks for the link. My present case , two ophthalmologist have confirmed that it is problem with retina and needs immediate surgery, I am concerned whether there is chance of malignancy in growth on retina, eventhough it is simple operation for normal people.
