Comparison of Methylprednisolone and Placebo toward Incidence and Severity of Epiretinal Membrane Post Pars Plana Vitrectomy in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment
Abstract:Introduction: Epiretinal membrane is one post-operative complication of vitrectomy that can lead to decrease visual acuity. Epiretinal membrane is the early step of proliferative vitreoretinopathy caused by inflammation. Steroid has been used in the treatment of intraocular inflammation. The aim of this study is to compare oral methylprednisolone and placebo toward incidence and severity of epiretinal membrane post pars plana vitrectomy in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
