BACKGROUND: To investigate short-term choroidal structural and vascular changes after epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, 65 patients with unilateral ERM underwent pars plana vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery and were examined one day before surgery and one week, one month, and three months after surgery. Choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal vascular index (CVI) were evaluated using horizontal enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) scans and were further calculated using semi-automatic algorithms using MATLAB R2017a.
RESULTS: Preoperatively, CVI was higher in eyes with ERM (61.70 ± 5.17%) than in fellow eyes (59.99 ± 5.26%). CVI increased significantly at one week after surgery (62.14 ± 5.02%) and decreased at 1 and 3 months after surgery (60.76 ± 4.97% and 60.4 ± 4.83%, respectively). The change was pronounced in the nasal region (p < 0.001) and central region (p < 0.05). CT in the temporal macula increased at 1 week (239.65 ± 72.98 μm) after surgery and decreased at 1 and 3 months after surgery (222.15 ± 71.91 μm and 222.33 ± 65.72 μm, respectively; p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Short-term postoperative variations in the choroid have been demonstrated in eyes with ERM. This may be related to the release of macular traction. CVI assessment using EDI-OCT may be a useful tool for investigating choroidal structural changes accompanying ERM and postoperative period.
