Peripapillary and Macular Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Predictors of Visual Improvement in Patients Treated with Vitrectomy for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane
Preoperative microvascular measurements in iERM patients can forecast postoperative BCVA. OCTA findings reveal that both increased RPC density and reduced SCP density at baseline could serve as predictors of better visual outcomes after surgery. Enhanced RPC density may reflect a healthier optic nerve with greater potential for visual recovery, while a less dense SCP could indicate less iERM contraction, both contributing to more favorable postoperative visual results.
