Lam M, Philippakis E, Gaudric A, et al. - Researchers performed this retrospective study to analyze the prevalence and postoperative outcomes of a particular form of epiretinal membrane (ERM) with foveoschisis-like stretched hyporeflective spaces in emmetropic eyes. They analyzed all consecutive eyes operated for primary ERM over a 46-month period. According to results, 17 out of 544 eyes with primary ERM had foveoschisis, leading to a 3.1% prevalence. In about 3% of eyes with idiopathic ERM, foveoschisis was observed. The foveoschisis normally resolves completely after peeling with functional outcomes comparable to those achieved with other primary ERM. However, this feature was linked to a higher risk of postoperative macular oedema (in 1/4 of cases).
