Preoperative maximum retinal thickness and retinal contraction were predictive of better postoperative visual acuity, while patients with a preoperative attenuated foveal ellipsoid zone were most likely to improve. Patients with preoperative pseudoholes had slightly worse visual acuity postoperatively. Although better preoperative vision was associated with better postoperative vision, it was associated with less change in visual acuity, emphasizing the importance of careful consideration of the desired surgical goals before advising surgery for ERM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
