Foveal displacement after macular hole surgery

5 April 2022 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Foveal displacement, internal limiting membrane peeling, metamorphopsia, papillofoveal distance, temporal inverted internal limiting membrane flap

Previous studies show that internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during macular hole surgery is associated with retinal shrinkage (microtubule depolymerization of the axons of the inner retina) and nasal shift of the fovea. A temporal inverted ILM flap technique was...

Relating metamorphopsia severity and OCT findings in advanced epiretinal membranes

7 April 2021 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | OCT, M-CHARTS, central bouquet, ectopic inner foveal layer, epiretinal membrane, metamorphopsia

The authors present the findings of a retrospective study to correlate metamorphopsia and ectopic inner foveal layers (EIFL) or ‘central bouquet’ abnormality (CBA) in patients with advanced stages of epiretinal membrane (ERM) following the new OCT‐based grading scheme as described...

Metamorphopsia in idiopathic epiretinal membranes

1 February 2019 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | Amsler grid, ERM, Orientation discrimination, metamorphopsia, retina

The Amsler grid is commonly used for self-monitoring, but is qualitative and has low sensitivity. The M-chart reduces the amount of spatial redundancy (‘filling in’) in the Amsler grid. The Orientation Discrimination (OD) test studied in this paper consists of...
