Negative impact of internal limiting membrane peeling in vitreous hemorrhage secondary to retinal vein occlusion with macular ischemia
What is known Pars plana vitrectomy is effective for visual improvement in vitreous hemorrhage associated with retinal vein occlusion. The incidence of postoperative epiretinal membrane is variable depending on the surgical approach. What is new Avoiding ILM peeling in cases of macular ischemia during vitrectomy is crucial for better visual outcomes. Despite higher rates of epiretinal membrane post-surgery in non-ILM peeled eyes, their visual outcomes remain superior to those with ILM peeling.
