Clinical and Functional State of the Visual Analyzer after Surgery for the Epiretinal Membrane from the Standpoint of the Relevance of Postoperative Rehabilitation by A. V. Malyshev, A. S. Balayan, A. I. Pavlov, I. G. Ovechkin

“…A fairly good anatomical effect of vitreoretinal surgical intervention for ERM is accompanied (one month after the operation) by a significant decrease in the functional state of the visual analyzer. In order to restore vision more quickly, it seems advisable to conduct early postoperative rehabilitation (based on the complex use of physiotherapeutic effects and combined drug therapy) aimed at correcting functional disorders of the retina, which will lead to a decrease in the severity of characteristic complaints and an increase in the “Quality of life” of the patient.…”
