Abstract
Objective To investigate the correlation between macular structural changes and functional outcomes in idiopathic macular epiretinal membranes (IMEM). Methods Clinical data of 85 patients with monocular IMEM admitted from April 2013 to April 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The diseased eyes(85 eyes)were studied as observation group and the normal eyes(85 eyes)served as control group. The results of routine eye examinations, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) were compared between observation and control groups. Results The preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in observation group was lower than that in control group (0.55±0.17 vs. 0.92±0.14, P 0.05). BCVA in observation group was negatively correlated with CRT(r=-2.16, P<0.05). Conclusions The central retinal thickness is negatively correlated with the best corrected visual acuity, but not correlated with center mfERG in patients with IMEM. Key words: Macular degeneration; Tomography, optical coherence; Electroretinography
