To characterize the change in visual acuity (VA) in eyes treated with vitrectomy using the 2020 international consensus-based optical coherence tomography (OCT) definition of lamellar macular hole (LMH), macular pseudohole (MPH), and epiretinal membrane with foveoschisis (ERMF). A retrospective chart review was performed from 2000 to 2022 of patients who had vitrectomy for symptomatic decreased VA from LMH, MPH, or ERMF performed by the same surgeon at a community hospital. Preoperative spectral domain (SD-OCT) was reviewed to classify patients using the consensus guidelines.

- Changes in retinal blood flow could play a role in glaucoma and similar eye diseases.
- Erythrocyte mediated velocimetry (EMV) is a new technique that uses indocyanine green dye to measure the speed of erythrocytes in the retinal microvasculature.
- The study involved 23 sessions showing the average erythrocyte speeds in arteries (7.17 mm/s) and veins (6.05 mm/s), with low variability in the measurements, suggesting EMV could be a reliable method for studying blood flow in the retina.
