Abstract
In the fourth, final part of the review (for the previous three parts, see ROJ 2020; 13 (2): 99–104, ROJ 2020; 13 (4): 105–110, and ROJ 2021; 14 (2): 103–109), we consider the changes in visual acuity under the lasting presence of epimacular membranes (EMM), the impact of presurgical visual acuity on the prognosis of visual functions after EMM removal, as well as indications for surgical treatment of EMM depending on visual acuity.
