BCVA improved significantly ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Significant improvement of BCVA, CMT, DRIL, ONL, ELM, and EZ were obtained. The final IZ was not different from baseline until the end of the study. A significant correlation was observed between the baseline BCVA, EZ, IZ, and the postoperative BCVA ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). However, only the baseline BCVA and the integrity of the subfoveal baseline IZ were predictive factors for final BCVA ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.005 and p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PPV provides a significant improvement of BCVA and retinal anatomy recovery in iERM eyes.
