*Kruskal–Wallis H test was used. CNV, choroidal neovascularization group; <3mon, patients who receive last IVB within 3 months; >3mon, patients who receive last IVB for more than 3 months and never; Control, patients with cataract and idiopathic epiretinal membrane or macular hole who underwent combined cataract and vitrectomy surgery; AMD, age-related macular degeneration; PM, pathological myopia; CNV, choroidal neovascularization; IL, interleukin; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
