Abstract
1. Regarding the prevalence of epiretinal membrane (ERM), ... a. the peak prevalence for patients with epiretinal membrane is in the 5th decade. b. epiretinal membrane is more common in males. c. there is large variability in the overall prevalence of ERMs due to differences in classifications, imaging modalities, reading methodologies and retinal appearances across ethnic groups. d. the prevalence of ERM does not appear to vary with ethnicity. e. the reported prevalence of ERM in Australia is under 5%.
