Perfusion Capacity as a Predictive Index for Assessing Visual Functional Recovery in Patients With Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study investigates the association between visual function and retinal vasculature metrics, particularly perfusion capacity (PC), in eyes with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM), using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods

This retrospective study includes 30 eyes from 30 iERM patients who had surgery, with a three-month follow-up period. In addition, 28 eyes from 28 healthy individuals served as a control group. We measured best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), retinal sensitivity, vascular density (VD), perfusion area (PA), PC, and retinal thickness (RT). OCTA scans assessed both the superficial vascular complex (SVC) and deep vascular complex (DVC) in 3 × 3 mm2 and 6 × 6 mm2 regions. Associations between retinal vasculature metrics and vi
