Postoperative outcomes of idiopathic epiretinal membrane associated with foveoschisis.

Foveoschisis was found in about 3% of eyes with idiopathic ERM. After peeling, the foveoschisis usually resolves completely with functional outcomes similar to those achieved with other primary ERM. However, this feature was associated with a higher risk of postoperative macular oedema (in 1/4 of cases).
