Prognostic factors of functional results of surgery for idiopathic (primary) epimacular membranes: morphology of outer and inner layers of the macula. Part 3

Abstract

The third part of the review (for the first part, see ROJ 2020; 13 (2): 99–104, for the second part — ROJ 2020; 13 (4): 105–110) discusses the structure of the outer and inner layers of normal macula in optical coherence tomography, their pathomorphology as well as its impact on the state of visual functions in epimacular membranes (EMM).

Keywords
