Early Functional Biomarkers of Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane Progression: A 24-Month Prospective Observational Study

Puntos clave

• The aim is to evaluate how near-vision parameters can detect early functional deterioration in idiopathic epiretinal membranes (iERM).
• Prospective observational study over 24 months
• Assessment of near-vision parameters alongside distance BCVA and OCT metrics
• Routine monitoring of participants' functional performance
• Near-vision parameters detect functional deterioration more sensitively than distance BCVA
• Incorporating near-vision performance enhances detection of iERM progression
• Longitudinal monitoring may benefit from integrating near-vision metrics
