Change of Retinally-Induced Aniseikonia in Patients With Epiretinal Membrane After Vitrectomy

Completed

• Conditions: Epiretinal Membranectomy

• Registration Number: NCT01901406
• Lead Sponsor: Yonsei University

Brief Summary

Epiretinal membrane is common disease, affecting 5\~10 % incidence over 60 years old population. It reduce visual acuity, cause metamorphopsia. In the past, vitrectomy and epiretinal membranectomy was indicated in patients with visual acuity less than 20/40, but nowadays with technical improvement and surgical instrument renovation, it seems to have been changed the surgical indication. Therefore, we plan to evaluate the changes of binocular visual acuity, aniseikonia in patients with epiretinal membrane.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Titmus test (arc of second)	from Initial screening day before surgey to postoperative 6 months
Changes of Stereopsis tested by TNO test (arc of second)	from Initial screening day before surgey to postoperative 6 months	Stereopsis is normal binocular vision. Its presence or absence is an important indicator of the state of binocularity. The TNO test is graded to provide retinal disparities ranging from 15 to 480 second of arc.
