Visual and anatomical outcomes of epiretinal membrane surgery across milder vs. severe stages: a retrospective longitudinal study

Key Points

• Visual outcomes improve significantly with epiretinal membrane surgery, especially at milder stages.
• Anatomical outcomes differ between milder and severe cases, indicating intervention stage is crucial.
• Retrospective longitudinal study analyzed data from patients with varying severities of epiretinal membranes.
• Surgical approaches may need to be adapted based on the severity of the epiretinal membrane to optimize results.
