A Case of Secondary Epiretinal Membrane Spontaneous Release by Andrey N. Andreev, Alexey V. Bushuev, Sergey N. Svetozarskiy

“…During the follow-up, slight visual deterioration, progressive deformation of the retinal profile, and an increase in diffuse retinal edema were observed. No surgical or laser treatment was performed. On the next visit, the spontaneous ERM separation with residual parapapillary fixation, the increase in visual acuity (0.9), and the decrease in retinal thickness were revealed. …”
