MORPHOLOGIC DIFFERENCES IN EPIRETINAL MEMBRANES ON OCULAR COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AS A PREDICTIVE FACTOR FOR SURGICAL OUTCOME

Abstract

Surgical intervention for the PLH-type epiretinal membrane was not associated with the visual improvement seen in other epiretinal membrane types, and the VMT type had the highest reoperation rate. Future studies should evaluate the potential benefit of internal limiting membrane peeling with or without short-term gas tamponade in these cases.
