Summary

Vitrectomy with membrane peeling has developed to be the gold-standard in treatment of epiretinal membranes. Due to the possibility of vitrectomy induced cataract, in many ophthalmic surgical centers it has become usual to indicate combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy in case of existing cataract.

Epiretinal membranes (ERM) and pseudomaculaforamen are disorders involving the posterior pole of the eyeball with consecutive vision loss. ERM can be well visualized with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Different study groups showed that even intraoperative use of SD-OCT is possible.
