Epiretinal membrane appearance or progression after intravitreal injection in age-related macular degeneration

Abstract: Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the appearance or progression of epiretinal membranes (ERMs) in age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and investigate confounding factors causing ERMs. Methods Seventy-six eyes that were treated for more than 36 months from the first anti-VEGF injection were assessed. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed between smok… Show more

“…It seems that VMIA contributes more to the development of ERM. Some researchers believe that chronic vitreous traction caused the migration of glial cells, macrophages, or pigment epithelial cells, and leads to ERM, which further supports our findings [ 24 , 25 ].…”

“…This may be indicative of a progression in the course of PDR itself or potentially linked to our therapeutic regimen. Further prospective research is warranted to validate this observation [48][49][50] . Throughout the course of treatment, potential occurrences such as new VH, exacerbation of pre-existing cataracts, and post-cataract development may contribute to a decline in the patient's visual acuity.…”
