About

To study and compare visual acuity in patients undergoing removal of the epiretinal membrane with and without the removal of the internal limiting membrane at baseline versus 6 month.

Full description

This prospective cohort study includes 2 arms : with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.

Each patient undergo the same procedure : first of all pars plana vitrectomy, then internal limiting membrane peeling is performed and facilitated by the use of dye, which aids in better visualization of the ILM.

If the ILM is removed in same time : the patient is ranked in the "ILM peeling" group If the ILM is not removed : the patient is ranked in the "non ILM peeling" group.

If the ILM is partially removed, the patient is not enrolled.

The outcomes are recorded for 6 months : at baseline, day 15, 1, 3 and 6 months.

Enrollment: 10 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 99 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
