Our study showed that vision improved over time after vitrectomy for patients with epiretinal membrane. The surgical outcomes are more stable in pseudophakic eyes, and vision improved after cataract extraction in phakic eyes. IOP should be managed and monitored closely to optimize surgical and visual outcomes in patients.
