Anatomical, Functional, and Prognostic Results of Vitrectomy in Epiretinal Membranes Secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We investigated the anatomical and functional results of vitrectomy associated with the peeling of secondary epiretinal membranes (ERM) in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and determined the prognostic factors of surgical outcomes.

Methods

This retrospective, multicenter, observational study included 50 patients with RVO who underwent vitrectomy with ERM removal between July 2012 and February 2021. Visual acuity (VA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were investigated up to 3 years. Univariate analysis identified the predictive factors associated with functional and anatomical outcomes.

Results

Fifty eyes from 50 patients (62% with central RVO) were included. The mean VA of 0.9 ± 0.7 logMAR preoperatively improved to 0.5 ± 0.5 logMAR after 24
