Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| This study aims to bring forth the often ignored parameters that are seen on OCT in patients with Idiopathic Epiretinal membrane and this understanding will help guide the treatment plan of the patients in the future by means of acting as a more reliable indicator of the patient’s visual prognosis. It will also help ascertain the urgency of surgical intervention in the patientTimepoint: Assessment of the data of the patient at their first visit, followed by assessment at 3 to 6 months time interval from the first visit | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analysis of subjects with two sequential OCTs done with a time interval of 3 to 6 months between them, to assess the longitudinal changes in the OCT biomarkers & to determine which Biomarker is associated with worse Visual Acuity.Timepoint: Assessment of the data of the patient at their first visit, followed by assessment at 3 to 6 months time interval from the first visit | — |
