New Postoperative Intraretinal Cystoid Changes After Vitrectomy With Membrane Peeling Due to Epiretinal Membranes

Sponsor: Prim. Prof. Dr. Oliver Findl, MBA

Summary

Epiretinal membranes (ERM) are a macular disorder leading to metamorphopsia and a decrease in visual acuity. Peeling of ERM during vitrectomy is, up to date, the only possible treatment option, opening chances for improvements of visual acuity and metamorphopsia. Occurrence of new intraretinal cystoid changes was described to be associated with a lower level of visual acuity after surgery, compared to patients, that never had intraretinal cystoid changes Aim of our study was to analyze development of new intraretinal cystoid changes after vitrectomy with membrane peeling with respect to postsurgical treatment strategies.
