The prevalence and incidence of epiretinal membranes in eyes with inactive extramacular CMV retinitis.

abstract：Purpose:Global analyses using mean deviation (MD) assess visual field progression, but can miss localized changes. Pointwise analyses are more sensitive to localized progression, but more variable so require confirmation. This study assessed whether cluster trend analysis, averaging information across subsets of locati...
