Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a semi-clear membrane that can form over your retina’s inner surface. It often causes minimal symptoms, but some people have vision loss or distorted vision.

Epiretinal membrane is a condition often confused with macular degeneration. Both conditions affect the macula, the specialized part of the retina that gives us sharp, central 20/20 vision.

There are four stages to epiretinal membranes (ERMs). ERMs do not always show symptoms or need treatment, but they can get worse as they progress through the stages. Learn more here.

The purpose of this study was to present an association between diabetic macular oedema (DME) and vitreoretinal interface abnormalities using 3D spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the morphological features of epiretinal membrane (ERM) in the presence or absence of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). Retrospective observational ...

Epiretinal membrane (ERM), first described by Iwanoff in 1865, [1] is a vitreomacular interface disorder that can lead to incapacitant metamorphopsia and decreased visual acuity.

EDINBURGH, Scotland — Epiretinal membrane stripping in acute idiopathic macular holes confers no benefits nor causes an adverse effect on the rate of anatomical closure or postoperative vision ...

We see patients with epiretinal membranes every day, and the decision whether to operate or not is myriad. And I really congratulate the DRCR for taking the bulls by the horn.

Akinori Uemura, MD, and colleagues performed vitrectomy on 15 eyes of 15 patients with idiopathic epiretinal membranes. No cases had prior evidence of PVD on slit lamp biomicroscopy and B-scan ...

Epiretinal membrane is a fibrous tissue which emerges on the macular of the eye. This fibrous tissue forms a film, which can make it difficult to view. It can also work like scar tissue and can pull ...

2.2.1 Epiretinal brachytherapy for wet AMD aims to slow down the growth of blood vessels that cause wet AMD by administering beta radiation therapy targeted at the abnormal, leaking vessels. 2.2.2 The ...

Evidence-based recommendations on epiretinal brachytherapy for wet age related macular degeneration. This involves using radiation therapy used to destroy the new blood vessels. This guidance ...
