Epiretinal membrane (ERM), one of the most common retinal diseases, can cause various degrees of visual disturbance, reduced contrast sensitivity, and metamorphopsia. ERM is not infrequently encountered during preoperative evaluations for cataract surgery, and selecting an appropriate intraocular lens (IOL) according to the location and stage of ERM is necessary in order to improve visual outcomes and patients’ satisfaction. This review summarizes the application of various IOLs—such as multifocal, extended depth of focus, and enhanced monofocal IOLs—in eyes with ERM, and discusses the selection of an appropriate IOL.
