Surgical removal of an epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a relatively common procedure, often resulting in significant visual improvement. Several complications, however, are well recognized, and include cataract formation, retinal breaks and detachments, cystoid macular edema, retinal phototoxicity, and endophthalmitis.1 Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a rare complication of ERM surgery, and, to our knowledge, only 3 cases have been reported in the literature.2-4 We report 3 additional cases of CNV after surgical removal of idiopathic macular puckers, and comment on the literature regarding this entity.
