Popis:	This article reports a case of a 65-year-old woman with recalcitrant recurrent epiretinal membrane (ERM) treated with revision vitrectomy and membrane peeling followed by 12 weekly intravitreal methotrexate injections. Visual acuity and central macular thickness significantly improved, and no ERM recurrence developed 7 months after surgery. This case represents the first documented use of methotrexate to treat surgically resistant ERM reproliferation and indicates a potential for its use in cases that do not respond to standard treatment.
