The effect of ectopic inner foveal layer thickness on metamorphopsia in idiopathic epiretinal membranes
Okan Akmaz
Abstract:The objective is to determine the effect of ectopic inner foveal layer (EIFL) thickness on preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and metamorphopsia scores in stage 3 epiretinal membranes (ERM). Methods: Thirty eyes of 28 patients were included in the study. All patients underwent uncomplicated vitrectomy and membrane peeling. EIFL, central foveal thickness (CFT), outer nuclear layer (ONL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) thicknesses were measured preoperative… Show more
