| description | Abstract Background To assess visual outcomes of epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal in multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL)-implanted eyes, according to ERM stage. Methods Retrospective chart reviews were undertaken in patients with diffractive-type MIOL implants, each undergoing pars plana vitrectomy and ERM removal between February 2018 and November 2020 at Gyeongju St. Mary's Eye Clinic and KEYE Eye Center. Assessments focused on monocular uncorrected and corrected values of distant visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA) and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) at postoperative 12 months according to the stage of ERM. Results The present study included a total of 49 MIOL-implanted eyes from 49 enrollees, 25 undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for ERM removal (11 eyes with Stage 2 and 14 eyes with Stage 3), and 24 acting as age-matched controls. There was a significant difference in UDVA and UNVA between control and Stage 3 ERM (UDVA; 0.01 ± 0.04 for control, and 0.07 ± 0.08 for stage 3 ERM, p = 0.035, UNVA; 0.03 ± 0.05 for control, and 0.13 ± 0.16 for Stage 3 ERM, p = 0.029). There were no significant differences in CDVA between groups (p = 0.121, ANOVA test). Conclusions Eyes with Stage 3 ERM did not achieve visual acuity comparable to control eyes, suggesting the necessity of an early intervention for ERM in eyes with diffractive type MIOL. A meticulous preoperative retinal evaluation for ERM development is mandatory when planning diffractive-type MIOL implantation. |
