Background summary
There is, as yet, no consensus among cataract surgeons and vitreoretinal
surgeons with respect to the optimal treatment strategy for patients with
cataract and an epiretinal membrane (ERM). For ERM-related symptoms, pars plana
vitrectomy (PPV) is usually combined with cataract extraction but when cataract
surgery is indicated for these patients, the option of phacovitrectomy,
although perhaps equally beneficial for some of them, is less often taken into
consideration.
Study objective
To quantify progression of macular ERM, and the degree of correlation with
phaco-energy, after phacoemulsification.
Study design
Prospective observational.
Study burden and risks
Participants do not benefit, risks and inconvenience are negligible.
