Air tamponade was performed in 4 eyes because of the tight adhesion between the anterior membrane and the retina during the operation, the relative difficulty of membrane peeling and the severe macular edema after membrane peeling. It has been reported that macular epiretinal membrane combined with internal limiting membrane peeling and simple macular epiretinal membrane peeling have advantages in the restoration of macular foveal structure and the reduction of foveal thickness, and in the macular microvision after surgery. In conclusion, iOCT-assisted staining-free surgery for macular epiretinal membranes can successfully find the starting point of epiretinal membrane stripping and visualize the changes in macular microstructure, but some idiopathic macular epiretinal membranes still need ILM stripping.
