Patients may benefit from early epiretinal membrane peel after PVR repair

Patients with epiretinal membrane after proliferative vitreoretinopathy repair may benefit from early peeling, according to a study presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting.
Sarah Syeda, MD, a fellow at Illinois Retina Associates, and colleagues conducted a retrospective study that included patients who underwent surgery for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) repair and subsequent or simultaneous epiretinal membrane (ERM) peels. Out of 686 patients, 44 underwent concurrent or subsequent ERM peels, of which 12 were excluded from the final analysis.
