Preoperative vitreoretinal interface abnormalities on spectral domain optical coherence tomography as risk factor for pseudophakic cystoid macular edema after phacoemulsification

Conclusion: In this cohort, preoperative detection of epiretinal membrane by spectral domain OCT was a risk factor for PCME after cataract extraction. It is recommended to perform a spectral domain OCT before cataract surgery because the presence of an epiretinal membrane may be passed unnoticed by fundus examination.
