PURPOSE: To assess the predictive value of pre-operative metamorphopsia, measured using the D-Chart, in patients undergoing epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery and how this relates to improvement in quality of life after surgery.
METHODS: 17 patients from vitreo-retinal surgery clinics at a tertiary ophthalmology centre were recruited when listed for pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with ERM peel between September 2019 - February 2020. Pre-operatively patients underwent visual acuity (VA), Visual-Function Index 14 (VF-14) and metamorphopsia (D-Chart-Thomson Software Solutions) assessment and answered a questionnaire regarding cardinal ERM symptoms. Post-operatively patients were re-assessed in the same domains.
RESULTS: 13 patients completed the protocol (inclusion rate 76%) with a mean follow-up of 32.1 (± 3.1) months. Mean pre-operative VA of the affected eye was 0.42 logMAR (± 0.25). Mean pre-operative VF-14 score was 81.51 (± 12.8) and mean M-Score of the affected eye was 14.6 (± 12.7). Post-operatively, mean VA of the operated eye was 0.11 logMAR (± 0.11), mean VF-14 score was 97.4 (± 3.8) and mean M-Score was 1.31 (± 2.8). Mean improvement in VA was 0.31 logMAR (p < 0.001), in VF-14 15.9 (p = 0.002), and M-Score -13.3 (p = 0.003). There was a significant association between pre-operative D-Chart score and improvement in VA (r = -0.570, p = 0.042), visual functioning (r = 0.606 p = 0.028) and metamorphopsia (r = 0.916 p < 0.001), with those demonstrating poorer D-Chart scores showing greater improvements.
CONCLUSION: Pre- and post-operative visual distortion measured using the D-Chart, correlates with vision related quality of life in patients undergoing epiretinal membrane surgery. Patients with worse pre-operative distortion scores noticed the greatest improvements in distortion and vision related quality of life following surgery. With a mean follow-up time of 32.1 months, this long-term follow-up data further reinforces the efficacy of vitrectomy and ERM peel by demonstrating significant and sustained improvement in visual acuity, metamorphopsia and visual functioning. The authors suggest there is a role for D-Chart assessment pre-operatively to improve selection of patients in ERM surgery.
