Epiretinal membrane is occurred on the inner retinal surface, and its causes are numerous ocular condition and disease, including ocular inflammatory conditions, proliferative retinopathy, nonproliferative retinal vascular disorders, blunt or penetrating injuries, vitreous hemorrhages. Also it is appeared not only after the surgery for retinal detachment or rhegmatogenous retinal detachment but after the cryopexy and ocular photocoagulation and sometimes it is idiopathically appeared without any special reason. Recently the vitreous surgery makes the removing of the epiretinal membrane from the inner retinal surface easy. In this study, removed the epiretinal membrane during the partial vitrectomy occurred with idiopathic and that occurred after the surgery for retinal detachment. we electromicroscopically compared and analyzed them.
