Abstract
- Four patients underwent surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane at macula. The follow-up was from 5 to 8 months. The epiretinal membrane was removed by vitreous surgical technique with sutherland scissors and forceps. By electron microscopic study of the membrans, four typical cells(fibrous astrocytes, macrophages, fibrocytes and myofibroblast-like cells) were found in one case and hyalocytes in another case. In all cases visual acuity improved by more than 2 lines in Snellen chart.
