Abstract

Epiretinal membranes (ERMs) are a common finding in patients with increasing age. Diagnosis and treatment of ERMs have changed dramatically in recent years due to technological advances in ophthalmological care. In recent years, tomographic imaging has allowed for accurate visualization of ERMs and contributed to the growing understanding of the pathophysiology of this condition. The literature review conducted here summarizes recent innovations in diagnosis, classification, and treatment of idiopathic ERMs and specifically addresses novel optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers that allow for the generation of prognoses regarding the clinical postoperative outcome.
