Vitrectomy for epiretinal membranes with good visual acuity.
PURPOSE To evaluate the visual results of vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane in eyes with a preoperative visual acuity of 20/50 or better. METHODS The visual results and complications were analyzed following vitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membranes and epiretinal membranes secondary to retinal tears. This study was a retrospective, consecutive case series of 40 eyes of 40 patients treat...
متن کاملShort-Term Surgical Outcomes of 25-Gauge Vitrectomy for Epiretinal Membrane with Good Visual Acuity
The symptoms of idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERM) of the macula are blurred vision caused by the retinal dysfunction including photoreceptor dysfunction and metamorphopsia caused by retinal distortion. Surgical removal of ERM is reportedly associated with few complications, and surgical results are generally good [15]. Furthermore, we reported treating ERM and internal limiting membrane (IL...
متن کاملVisual acuity after vitrectomy and epiretinal membrane peeling with or without premacular indocyanine green injection.
PURPOSE To compare postoperative visual acuity of eyes operated for an epiretinal membrane (ERM), with or without intraoperative intraocular indocyanine green (ICG) injection. METHODS Retrospective study of 75 pseudophakic eyes with epiretinal membrane operated by vitrectomy-peeling. In 20 cases operated in 2001 and 2002 (Group 1), ICG diluted in 5% glucose solution was injected intraoperativ...
متن کاملVitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membranes causing macular pucker.
We used vitreous surgery to remove idiopathic epiretinal membranes from the macular area in 70 consecutive cases. The abnormal tissue was successfully removed in each case. Vision improved postoperatively in 61 eyes (87%), remained unchanged in six eyes (9%), and worsened in three eyes (4%). However, at the time of final examination vision was improved in only 47 eyes (67%), primarily because o...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical study of epiretinal membranes in patients with uveitis
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to report two cases of idiopathic uveitis with secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation in order to describe histologic and immunohistochemical features that may help distinguish uveitic from idiopathic ERMs. METHODS The study utilized a clinical case series and histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. RESULTS There was no identifiable...
