Description
Summary:Background/Objectives To identify risk factors for glaucoma-related central visual field (VF) deterioration after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for epiretinal membrane (ERM). Subjects/Methods A prospective cohort study consisting of cases with or without glaucoma (33 eyes of 33 patients in each group) who underwent vitrectomy with ILM peeling for ERM. Humphrey 10–2 VFs and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness were measured at baseline and about 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Longitudinal changes in VF indices and factors associated with their postoperative changes were investigated using mixed-effects models, as was sectorwise total deviation (TD) analysis using six sectors consisting of outer/inner arcuate and cecocentral sectors in each hemifield. Results VF mean deviation significantly deteriorated postoperatively only in the glaucoma group ( P
