Identification of Postoperative Foveal Displacement after Macular Surgery for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane.

Discussion: Most of the eyes with iERM showed a foveal dislocation after the macular surgery. Our findings emphasize the necessity to carefully study of the OCT images in such eyes after the surgery as the manually determined postoperative foveal position may be in a different vertical or horizontal plane than the machine-generated pre- and postoperative overlay for the foveal position. Our findings may thus be helpful for surgeons to avoid misinterpretation when evaluating OCT images pre- and postoperatively.
