Evolution of Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane Studied by Optical Coherence Tomography

Abstract

In the study group the macular thickness increased during a mean follow-up period of 36 months. The average increase between the baseline and the final examination at the inner central circle of 1 mm diameter was 12.29%. Decrease of the macular thickness was not observed in any of the studied cases. The mean decrease of visual acuity was 9.4%. OCT also depicted with accuracy the changing morphology of the affected macula during the study period.
