Abstract

To determine the anatomical and functional impact of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in cases of Idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) associated Ectopic Fovea. : A retrospective, interventional case series of 39 eyes with Idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) associated with Ectopic Fovea at presentation. The study period was between January 2016 and December 2019. Relationship between Pre-operative and Post-operative log MAR BCVA, Pre-operative and Post-operative Central Foveal thickness (CFT) evaluated. Effect of ILM peeling on Post-operative logMAR BCVA and Post surgery Ectopic fovea evaluated. Relationship of presence of Ellipsoid Zone (EZ) disruption and Recurrence of Epiretinal membrane (ERM) compared with Post-operative logMAR BCVA. Parametric and non-parametric tests are used to compare categorical and non-categorical variables and with appropriate significance (p=<0.05). In our study internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling noted to have significant role in vision.
