Secondary epiretinal membranes were excluded. iERMs were stratified into two groups: Group I (BCVA 20/30 or better) and Group II (BCVA 20/40 to 20/50). The main outcome measures included baseline and final follow-up BCVA, central macular thickness (CMT) on OCT.Results: The study included 174 eyes (145 patients): 139 eyes (79.8%) had typical iERMs and 35 eyes (18%) had LMH. For Group I typical iERMs, the logMAR baseline and final mean BCVA were 0.09 ± 0.1 (Snellen equivalent 20/25) and 0.10 ± 0.1 (20/25+) respectively (p = 0.22). In this group, the baseline and final mean CMT were 335 ± 73μm and 342 ± 78μm, respectively (p = 0.47). For Group II typical iERMs, the logMAR baseline and final mean BCVA were 0.3 ± 0.1 (20/44) and 0.4 ± 0.2 (20/45) respectively (p = 0.31). In this group, the baseline and final mean CMT were 386 ± 95μm and 391 ± 93μm, respectively (p = 0.84).Conclusion: The clinical course of patients with iERM and good baseline BCVA is generally favorable without surgery and includes stable BCVA and OCT measurements after at least one year.Keywords: epiretinal membrane, pars plana vitrectomy, optical coherence tomographyDamasceno EFDamasceno NACrane AMYannuzzi NARelhan NSmiddy WEFlynn HWDove Medical Pressarticleepiretinal membranepars plana vitrectomyoptical coherence tomographyOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2469-2475 (2019) |
