Key Points

To investigate the relationship between macular microstructural changes and visual function after surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM).
Surgical intervention for idiopathic epiretinal membrane was performed.
Pre- and post-operative assessments of visual function, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and metamorphopsia, were conducted.
Analysis of macular microstructure alterations, such as central foveal thickness (CFT) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness, was performed.
Significant improvements were observed in visual function metrics following surgery.
Recovery in visual function correlated with changes in specific macular microstructures such as CFT and GC-IPL thickness.

Implication

Surgical intervention improved visual function and metamorphopsia in individuals, suggesting structural connections.

Abstract

Surgical intervention for iERM led to significant improvements in both BCVA and metamorphopsia. Recovery of visual function was significantly associated with specific macular microstructure alterations, particularly changes in CFT, COST line length, DRIL extent, and GC-IPL thickness.
