The Association Between Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Loss and Forceps Trauma During Surgery for Idiopathic Full Thickness Macular Hole

Whilst forceps trauma can result in SANFL lesions and focal RNFL loss, over 80% of focal RNFL defects observed after ILM peeling are not associated with PUPs and may be more associated with the act of ILM avulsion from the underlying retina during peeling.

Abstract

Whilst forceps trauma can result in SANFL lesions and focal RNFL loss, over 80% of focal RNFL defects observed after ILM peeling are not associated with PUPs and may be more associated with the act of ILM avulsion from the underlying retina during peeling.
