Abstract:
Objective To explore the image characteristics and clinical application of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with epiretinal membranes of the macular(ERMM). Methods 38 patients, who were diagnosed as or suspected as ERMM, were examined with OCT before and after operation from November, 2002 to October, 2003 in our hospital. Results Macular epiretinal membranes were visible on OCT as high reflective tissues, which were thin or thick, and contiguous to or anterior to the retinal surface. In most fovea, the depth decreased and the thickness increased. ERMM disappeared after operation. Conclusion OCT can display the macular epiretinal membrane and the pathological changes of macular tissues before and after operation. OCT can provide accurate information on the clinical diagnosis and operative efficacy of ERMM.
