Epiretinal Membrane Peeling in Eyes with Retinal Vein Occlusion: Visual and Morphologic Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and secondary ERM.

Methods

Retrospective, multicenter study including patients with RVO and ERM who underwent PPV and ERM peeling with or without phacoemulsification. Demographic, clinical, surgical, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) features were recorded at the time of ERM peeling (baseline). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) were longitudinally collected up to 36 months after surgery. Clinical factors associated with BCVA and CMT and disappearance of macular edema during follow-up were investigated.

Results

Twenty-one eyes of 21 patients with a me
