Influence of Preoperative Foveal Layers’ Thickness on Visual Function and Macular Morphology by Phacovitrectomy for Epiretinal Membrane

Figure 1

Measurement of the fovea layers in the central OCT incision in the patient’s eye of Group 3. Central foveolar retinal thickness (CFT) from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to the inner limiting membrane (ILM). CONLT/CINLT: central foveolar thickness of the outer and inner nuclear layer. CIPLT: central foveolar thickness of the inner plexiform layer. MFT: maximum foveal retinal thickness at the thickest fovea range from RPE to ILM. OCT morphological properties of the fovea layers: 1—intact RPE, 2—interrupted junction between the outer and inner photoreceptor segments (blurred ellipsoid zone), 3—intact integrity of the external limiting membrane, 4—distortion of the retinal layers, 5—adherent epiretinal membrane, and 6—elevation of the foveola with an ectopy of INL and IPL.
