title: [Idiopathic epiretinal membrane: definition, classification, current understanding of pathogenesis].
abstract: Idiopathic epiretinal membrane is a result of a complex biomechanical interaction of the retina and vitreous. This paper discusses classification problems, epidemiological data of multicenter studies, and current hypotheses of epiretinal membrane pathogenesis.
