Official Title: Refractive Consequences of Epiretinal Membrane Surgery
Brief Summary:
Epiretinal membrane is treated with vitrectomy and peeling. Afterwards cataract is usually developed, which requires a cataract surgery.
The aim of this study is to investigate the refractive consequences of surgery for Epiretinal membrane and cataract.
Investigators investigate the sequence of surgery in patients having surgery for Epiretinal membrane and cataract in a prospective clinically randomized intervention trial. Patients are randomized to 1) start with vitrectomy, 2) start with cataract surgery, 3) combined surgery. Investigators want to find the sequence of surgery that gives the most optimal refractive result, the most stabile intraocular lens, and the minimal loss of corneal endothelial cells.
