Abstract:

Idiopathic epiretinal membrane is a result of a complex biomechanical interaction of the retina and vitreous. This paper discusses classification problems, epidemiological data of multicenter studies, and current hypotheses of epiretinal membrane pathogenesis.

Keywords:

idiopathic retinal membrane
inner limiting membrane
Müller cells
posterior vitreous detachment
