Interocular differences at 6 months after surgery were defined as follows: (the absolute value of differences between post-operative eye measurement and fellow eye measurement)/fellow eye measurement) × 100%

OCTA optical coherence tomography angiography, ERM epiretinal membrane, BCVA best-corrected visual acuity, SCP superficial capillary plexus, FAZ foveal  avascular zone, VDs vessel densities, DCP deep  capillary plexus, OCP outer retinal capillary plexus, CCP choroidal capillary plexus

*The value was statistically significant (P < 0.05)
