Purpose: To describe the 2-year functional and anatomical outcomes in patients operated on for combined cataract and idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) and to study the relationship between best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) throughout the follow-up.
Methods: This retrospective observational case series included 72 eyes operated on for combined cataract and idiopathic ERM. They were followed with clinical and SD-OCT examinations preoperatively and 1, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates factors predicting visual acuity recovery 1 year after cataract and idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery, emphasizing the development of a new predictive score.
- It followed 142 patients for 12 months and found that age, duration of symptoms, initial best-corrected visual acuity, and disruptions in retinal imaging were significant indicators of recovery.
- The resulting 10-point predictive score demonstrated high sensitivity (82%) and specificity (66%), allowing for better estimation of visual outcomes based on individual patient characteristics.
