We used vitrectomy techniques to remove epiretinal membranes that caused reduced visual acuity in 13 consecutive eyes with macular pucker after otherwise successful retinal reattachment surgery. A technically successful result with visual improvement was achieved in each case. An iatrogenic retinal tear (successfully repaired) occurred in one eye, and recurrent retinal detachment requiring an additional operation occurred postoperatively in two eyes. Despite such risks, and that the best postoperative visual acuity achieved was 6/9 (20/30), the use of vitrectomy methods in removal of epiretinal membranes in selected cases of macular pucker can provide significant improvement in vision.
