No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Epiretinal membranes (ERM) are disorders leading to vision loss and metamorphopsia. Vitrectomy with membrane peeling has developed to be the gold-standard in treatment of ERM. ERM can be well visualized with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

The aim of the study is to examine ERM and internal limiting membranes (ILM) exzised during routine macular surgery with fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and compare results to optic coherence tomography (OCT) findings.
