A representative case of reading ability pre- and post-surgery for ERM. The solid line indicates the reading ability before surgery, and the dashed line indicates the reading ability at 12 months post-surgery. The patient’s BCVA was 0 logMAR, both before surgery and at 12 months post-surgery. The metamorphopsia score of the vertical line improved from 1.3 at baseline to 0.5 at 12 months post-surgery, and the metamorphopsia score of the horizontal line improved from 2.0 at baseline to 0.4 at 12 months post-surgery. a reading acuity before surgery; b reading acuity at 12 months post-surgery; c critical print size before surgery; d critical print size at 12 months post-surgery; e maximum reading speed at 12 months post-surgery.
