[Surgical removal of macular epiretinal membrane].
Vitreous surgery was used to remove macular epiretinal membranes in 15 eyes of 15 cases of which 7 were idiopathic and 8 secondary. In the period of postoperative follow-up, the visual acuity improved in 14 eyes (93%), in which 57% improved 3 or more than 3 lines. The visual recovery is related to the time of operation chosen. No complication was noted, except development of a paracentral scotoma in 1 eye.
