Abstract:Purpose To evaluate the functional and anatomical outcomes of vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) in eyes with a preoperative (acuity (VA) ≥ 0,3 LogMAR (20/40) .
Methods Sixty‐seven of sixty‐six consecutive patients that undergone surgery for an idiopathic ERM were studied retrospectively. A combined surgery was performed on phakic eyes (n=45). The other eyes were all pseudophakic (n=22). All patients underwent ERM and internal limiting membrane removal by using 20 (n=19) or 23‐gauge (n=48) vitrectomy. T… Show more
