Functional and Anatomic Outcomes in Eyes With Primary Epiretinal Membranes After Surgical Removal: 5-Year Results of the Pan American Collaborative Retina Study Group
Surgical removal of an idiopathic ERM results in long-standing improvement in BCVA, regardless of ERM stage. Preoperative ectopic inner foveal layer ERM staging assesses preoperative and postoperative BCVA. The preoperative presence of microcystoid macular edema was associated with a poorer postoperative BCVA.
