THREE-DIMENSIONAL HEADS-UP VITRECTOMY VERSUS CONVENTIONAL MICROSCOPIC VITRECTOMY FOR PATIENTS WITH EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE

imagePurpose:

To investigate the efficacy and safety of 3D heads-up display (3D-HUD) vitrectomy compared with conventional microscopy (CM) vitrectomy in epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery.

Methods:

Epiretinal membrane removal with or without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling was performed using a 3D-HUD or CM system. The mean changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and in central macular thickness (CMT) and postoperative complications were assessed.

Results:

Baseline demographics were comparable except for the follow-up period. Both BCVA and CMT improved at the final visit (all P
