| Abstract;Purpose: To evaluate the surgical outcome of vitrectomy and foveal thickness before and after vitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membranes. Subjects and Methods: Twenty-three eyes of 21 patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes were analyzed. The mean follow-up period was 17.8 months. In 16 eyes of 14 patients, foveal thickness was measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results: Preoperative visual acuity ranged from 0.1 to 0.7. Postoperatively, 17 eyes achieved a final visual acuity of 1.0 or better, and 21 eyes achieved 0.5 or better. Preoperative foveal thickness ranged from 205 to 575 .MU.m(mean.+-.standard deviation, 409.9.+-.103.3.MU.m). Postoperatively, mean foveal thickness was 347.7.+-.106.0.MU.m(1 week follow up), 338.6.+-.103.7.MU.m(2 months), 304.6.+-.97.0.MU.m(6 months), and 274.3.+-.78.7.MU.m(1 year). There was a weak negative correlation between visual acuity and foveal thickness. Conclusion: Visual acuity improves significantly after surgery. OCT is useful for idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery. (author abst.) |
