Prognostic factors of functional results of surgery for idiopathic (primary) epimacular membranes: the duration of epimacular proliferation. Part 1

Abstract

Part 1 of the review presents types of epimacular membranes (EMM), their epidemiology and management standard, topography of normal fovea seen on the optical coherence tomography, as well as dependence of functional results of surgery on disease duration.

Keywords
