Plain-language summary
This study aims to evaluate postsurgical functional changes in patients with advanced epiretinal membrane (ERM) (stages 3 and 4) by integrating a controlled macular detachment with a balanced salt solution to the conventional ERM peeling technique.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients over 18 years of age.
* Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ERM grade III or IV by Optical Coherence Tomography who present visual disturbances such as metamorphopsia or visual impairment (measured in letters on the ETDRS scale) but who do not reflect end-stage visual impairment.
* Patients suitable for vitreoretinal surgical procedures, with no uncontrolled medical comorbidities that contraindicate surgery.
* Patients who understand the objectives and risks of the study and sign an informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of grade III or IV ERM by Optical Coherence Tomography who do not have the ability to improve their visual acuity.
* Patients diagnosed with ocular pathologies that significantly affect their visual acuity, such as moderate or advanced glaucoma, non-glaucomatous optic neuropathies, or optic media opacities such as leukomas, significant corneal edema, or other maculopathies such as macular atrophy or macular ischemia.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
