Background And Objective: This review consolidates findings from studies that used a preoperative visual acuity (VA) threshold as an indication for epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery.
Methods: The literature was systematically searched using Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from January 2000 to October 2022 to select studies reporting on pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for ERM that used a preoperative VA threshold as an inclusion criterion. Primary outcomes were final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and change in BCVA relative to baseline.
