Purpose.
We aimed to describe the visual prognosis of eyes with ectopic inner foveal layers (EIFLs) after epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery.
Methods.
This retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed with stage 3 ERM based on the EIFL staging scheme who underwent ERM surgery with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months.
Central foveal thickness (CFT), EIFL thickness, and the length of the ellipsoid zone defect were evaluated at baseline and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery based on pre- and postoperative swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.
The association of EIFL thickness and other OCT parameters with pre- and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was analyzed.
Results.
Sixty-nine eyes with stage 3 ERMs were analyzed.
Preoperative BCVA was correlated with preoperative CFT (r = 0.517, p<0.001) and preoperative EIFL thickness (r = 0.652, p<0.001).
At 12 months, postoperative BCVA was correlated negatively with preoperative CFT (r = 0.470, p=0.016) and preoperative EIFL thickness (r = 0.582, p=0.004).
The improvement in BCVA was not associated with postoperative reduction in CFT p=0.06, although it was significantly associated with postoperative reduction in EIFL thickness (r = 0.635, p=0.007).
Conclusions.
EIFL thickness should be considered a negative prognostic factor for postoperative anatomical and functional recovery in patients with stage 3 ERMs.
