Shikhalieva S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution, Moscow, Russian Federation Relevance. Surgery for epiretinal fibrosis is currently a routineprocedure in vitreoretinal surgery. However, in some cases, the functionalresults of the surgery are unsatisfactory. With the widespread introductionof optical coherence tomography (OCT) into clinical practice, manyprognostic criteria for the functional outcomes of surgery for thispathology have been proposed, the description of which is the purposeof this review. Purpose. To describe prognostic criteria of idiopathicepiretinal fibrosis surgery functional outcomes based on opticalcoherence tomography data. Material and methods. To perform thisreview, clinical studies were searched through the eLibrary, PubMed, andScopus database, using the keywords «epiretinal fibrosis», «prognosticcriteria», «optical coherence tomography» (in the eLibrary database),«prognostic criteria», «epiretinal membrane» and «optical coherencetomography» (in the PubMed and Scopus databases). A total of 39 articlesrelevant to the topic of the review were selected. Results. A large numberof OCT criteria have been proposed to predict functional outcomes ofepiretinal membrane surgery, some of which remain understudied. Conclusion. Сone outer segment tips and ellipsoid zone appear to be the most informative and easy-to-use prognostic criteria. Further studiesare needed to determine the best set of prognostic parameters. Key words: optical coherence tomography, epiretinal fibrosis, epiretinalmembrane, classification, prognostic criteria
