Membrane peeling benefits patients with epiretinal membrane after retinal detachment surgery
ORLANDO, Fla. — Membrane peeling was beneficial to patients with epiretinal membrane after retinal detachment surgery, even in those with a macula-off retinal detachment, according to a poster presentation here. “Subgroup analysis found that although preoperative visual acuity was not different between patients with history of macula-on and macula-off RD, at postoperative month 1, 6 and 12, patients who had macula-on status had better BCVA after [epiretinal membrane] peeling,” Christina Y. Weng, MD, and colleagues said in the study presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting.
