| Abstract | ||||
| Purpose: to review the causes, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and modifications in surgical management of epiretinal membranes. Summary: Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is caused by proliferation of different cells on the inner retinal surface; it may be idiopathic or secondary to different ocular causes. It can be diagnosed by indirect ophthalmoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) which is useful tool for follow up patients before and after surgery. It may be asymptomatic or causing visual disturbances which indicate its surgical removal. | ||||
