Prevalence of epiretinal membrane in the phakic eyes based on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography
Fig 5
Representative images from subjects with follow-up data during the PVD period.
(A) Fundus image shows epiretinal membrane (ERM) at the nasal side. (B) The spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) image shows ERM at the nasal side (arrows) with attached posterior hyaloid membrane (PHM; arrowheads). (C) After 2 months, the ERM was spontaneously removed with posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). The observed wrinkling of underlying retina (arrows) and (D) 10 months later, the slightly improved wrinkling of retina (arrows). (E) Fundus images show mild ERM. (F) ERM (red arrows) was observed at the nasal retina and epiretinal hyperreflective changes (blue arrows) were observed at the temporal retina. Partial detachment of PHM (arrowheads) was found at the margin of ERM and epiretinal hyperreflective changes. (G) A year later, the detachment of PHM progressed (arrowheads) and retinal peaking at the nasal side of fovea (arrow) was observed. (H) Three months later, PVD was observed and the ERM (red arrows) and hyperreflective changes (blue arrows) remained.
