Abstract:

By affecting different retinal layers, an idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) produces changes in macular architectonics and functioning. Morphological and functional assessment of these patients using modern visualization methods and electroretinography contributes to a better understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms of iERM.

Keywords:

idiopathic epiretinal membrane
metamorphopsia
optical coherence tomography
