Abstract
- Epiretinal membrane formation and membrane contraction are major complications in a variety of ocular conditions, including retinal detachment and penetrating ocular injuries. The epiretinal membrane was derived from pigment epithelial cell and glial cell. In rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, the retinal pigment epithelium was capable of proliferating through retinal tear into the vitreous contributing to preretinal membranes. In this study, we report the ultrastructural features of epiretinal membrane in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment removed during vitreous surgery from 4 patients.
