PURPOSE: To examine retrospectively the visual outcomes in @entity1 undergoing vitrectomy for epiretinal membranes secondary to @entity1596 . METHODS: Eleven consecutive @entity1 (11 eyes) with epiretinal membrane and @entity1596 associated with @entity370 underwent pars plana vitrectomy. RESULTS: Nine eyes (82%) gained two or more lines of Snellen visual acuity at 1-12 months after surgery. However, 4 of these 9 eyes lost two or more lines of Snellen visual acuity by the final visit. Overall, 5 eyes (45%) had attained at least two Snellen lines of visual acuity improvement, 5 eyes (45%) were unchanged, and 1 eye (10%) had worsened by two lines at the final visit. Nine eyes (81%) achieved visual acuity of 20/40 or better by the final visit. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy and fluorescein angiography showed that @entity1103 had resolved in 4 of 7 eyes postoperatively; vitritis improved in all cases. @entity260 included @entity231 formation, @entity726 , and membrane recurrence. Subsequent surgeries consisted of @entity231 extraction in 2 eyes and membrane peeling in 1 eye. CONCLUSIONS: Pars plana vitrectomy appears to have a beneficial effect on restoring vision in eyes with epiretinal membrane and @entity1596 associated with @entity370 , but final visual acuity was limited by the development of @entity231 and membrane recurrence.
