AbstractThis study aimed to investigate morphological differences between idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) and secondary ERM due to peripheral break (SEPB) and to identify clinical characteristics in eyes with SEPB to facilitate peripheral retinal examination. The retrospective cross-sectional study involved 93 consecutive eyes in 91 patients who underwent ERM removal surgery. Eyes were divided into two groups: the macular pucker group and the idiopathic ERM group. En-face Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images, fundus photographs, severity of metamorphopsia (M-score) and clinical characteristics of each group were compared. ERM extent and eccentricity (ratio of the shortest and longest distances from the foveal center to the boundary) were obtained through en-face OCT imaging. Fundus photographs were used to judge whether the membrane was turbid or not. Patients with SEPB were younger than patients with idiopathic ERM (61.3 ± 7.5 vs. 66.6 ± 8.3 years; p < 0.05). Preoperative M-score and myopic refractive error, axial length were also significantly higher in the macular pucker group than in the idiopathic ERM group (all p < 0.05). There was no difference in ERM extent between the two groups. The incidence of ERM eccentricity was 23 of the 34 eyes (67.6%) in the SEPB group and 26 of the 59 eyes (44.1%) in the idiopathic ERM group (p < 0.05). The incidence of turbid ERM was 18 of the 34 eyes (52.9%) in the SEPB group and 10 of the 59 eyes (16.9%) in the idiopathic ERM group (p < 0.01). The SEPB group, compared with the idiopathic ERM group, tended to have eccentric, turbid ERM at a younger age and with more severe metamorphopsia and myopic refractive error.

Purpose: Previous reports described unfavorable visual outcomes after surgery for uveitic macular pucker. Our goal was to demonstrate that patients with history of uveitis may benefit from vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane if executed under appropriate circumstances. Methods: We performed pars plana vitrectomy with ERM and ILM peeling in patients with post-uveitic macular pucker who did not show signs of ocular inflammation for at least 3 months after the suspension of immunosuppressive therapy. Visual acuity, central macular thickness at OCT, ocular inflammation, and complications were recorded. Results: Twenty-six eyes were operated. Mean duration of follow-up was 67 months. Visual acuity significantly improved from 20/80 to 20/40 after surgery. Vision increased in 20 (77%), remained stable in 4 (15%), and decreased in 2 (8%) eyes. Best-corrected visual acuity ameliorated by at least 2 ETDRS lines in 14 eyes (54%). Contingency analysis did not show any statistical difference among the different types of uveitis ( p = 0.46). Mean central foveal thickness improved postoperatively (428 ± 104 vs 328 ± 130 microns; p = 0.017). Conclusion: Patients with uveitic epiretinal membrane benefit from vitrectomy with membranectomy if operated when intraocular inflammation had subsided.

Retinal Pathology

Purpose: Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a common retinal finding for patients older than 50 years. Disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) has emerged as a novel predictor of poor visual acuity (VA) in eyes with inner retinal pathology. The aim of our study is to correlate preoperative DRIL with visual outcomes after ERM surgery. Methods: Medical records and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of 81 pseudophakic patients who underwent treatment of idiopathic ERM were reviewed. Preoperative DRIL on OCT was correlated with VA at baseline and at 3 and 6 months after ERM surgery. DRIL was defined as the loss of distinction between the ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer complex, inner nuclear layer, and outer plexiform layer. DRIL severity was based on its extent within the central 2-mm region of a transfoveal B-scan (absent/mild: <one-third, severe: >one-third horizontal width). Results: Review of preoperative OCT showed severe DRIL in 41% and absent/mild DRIL in 59%. Severe DRIL was associated with worse baseline VA ( P < .001). Preoperative VA and DRIL status at baseline were both predictors of postoperative VA at follow-up time points ( P < .001). Severe DRIL was associated with significantly less improvement in VA at 6 months (–0.23 logMAR for absent/mild vs –0.14 for severe DRIL). Conclusions: Presence of severe preoperative DRIL correlates with worse baseline VA in patients with ERM and reduced VA improvement at 6 months. DRIL can be a strong predictor of long-term poor visual outcomes in ERM surgery.
