Visual outcomes and prognostic factors of vitrectomy for lamellar macular holes and epiretinal membrane foveoschisis
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases Feb 27, 2021
Omoto T, Asahina Y, Zhou HP, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to assess the visual outcomes of vitrectomy for lamellar macular hole (LMH) and epiretinal membrane (ERM) foveoschisis and to examine the prognostic factor for postoperative visual acuity. Fifteen LMH and 17 ERM foveoschisis eyes that had undergone a standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with (12 eyes) or without (20 eyes) cataract surgery were retrospectively reviewed. According to results, 15 of 32 examined eyes were diagnosed as LMH and 17 eyes as ERM foveoschisis. The findings indicated that preoperative BCVA and the presence of ellipsoid zone [EZ] disruption depended on the final BCVA. For LMHs with EZ disruption, surgical indications might be warranted.
