Epiretinal Membrane
Patients may benefit from early epiretinal membrane peel after PVR repair
Patients with epiretinal membrane after proliferative vitreoretinopathy repair may benefit from early peeling, according to a study presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting.
VIDEO: Post hoc analyses support angiopoietin-2 inhibition in retinal disease treatment
In this Healio Video Perspective from Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration 2024, Rishi P. Singh, MD, overviews post hoc analyses supporting angiopoietin-2 inhibition for treating retinal diseases.
VIDEO: Studies show faricimab reduces risk for epiretinal membrane formation
SEATTLE — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ASRS annual meeting, Jeffrey R. Willis, MD, PhD, discusses the impact of faricimab vs. aflibercept on epiretinal membrane formation in eyes with diabetic macular edema.
‘Trickier’ OCTs for pediatric epiretinal membrane still drive better surgical outcomes
WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — While the assessment of pediatric epiretinal membrane in OCT imaging are “trickier” than in adults, they still provide useful data to drive better surgical planning and outcomes, according to a speaker here.
Deciding when to observe, operate on lamellar macular holes
NEW YORK – Lamellar macular holes may lead to progressive vision loss, but not all patients will need surgery, according to a speaker here.
Ophthalmic robotic surgery may be most applicable in retina
In robotic surgery, only the robotic system’s “arms” touch the patient, and the surgeon does not touch those “arms.”
VIDEO: Inner retinal integrity important for visual function in ERM
In this video, Raphael Defina, with the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, discusses data from the cross-sectional, observational clinical study that showed that inner retinal integrity is critical for visual function following epiretinal membrane surgery.
