Abstract In summary, this study demonstrates that ILM peeling at the macula during vitrectomy with silicone oil for the treatment of retinal detachment ensures separation of the posterior hyaloids from the macular surface, which can relieve the macular traction and prevent post operative membrane formation without negatively affecting distant visual acuity. This approach offers the potential advantage of avoiding secondary surgery for epiretinal membrane developing after vitrectomy with silicone oil for retinal detachment. Although preventing ERM formation by ILM peeling during vitrectomy for macula off detachment improvement of central vision often remains compromised owing to the permanent functional damage the macula has suffered while detached. Even in cases where surgery has been successful, a reattached retina with macula off rarely regains normal sensitivity or acuity. |
