Abstract: Most studies showed that idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM) patients with better preoperative best corrected visual acuity and shorter duration of symptoms will obtain better postoperative visual acuity. Preoperative imaging features such as preoperative macular morphology, macular fovea thickness, ellipsoid zone integrity and photoreceptor outer segment length have certain predictive value for postoperative visual acuity in IERM.(Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47: 138-143)

Key words: epiretinal membrane, prognostic predictors factor, vitreoretinal surgery, optical coherence tomography
