Long-Term Outcomes of Vitrectomy for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane With Internal Limiting Membrane Removal in Patients With Good Preoperative Visual Acuity

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term visual results of vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane (ERM) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal for idiopathic ERM in eyes with a preoperative visual acuity (VA) of 20/50 or better. Methods: This retrospective review of a consecutive case series comprised...

Description
Summary:Purpose: To evaluate the long-term visual results of vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane (ERM) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal for idiopathic ERM in eyes with a preoperative visual acuity (VA) of 20/50 or better. Methods: This retrospective review of a consecutive case series comprised 337 patients. Of these, 36 eyes of 36 patients had ERM and ILM removal from 2017 to 2018. Inclusion criteria included a subjective decrease in VA, a preoperative VA of 20/50 or better, vitrectomy with ERM and ILM removal for ERM, and a minimum 6-month follow-up. Paired t tests were used to determine the statistical significance (P
