Austria21 participantsStarted 2019-04-03

Plain-language summary

Primary vitrectomy for retinal detachment repair is one of the current methods for surgical treatment of retinal detachment. Additional peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) was reported to successfully prevent development of epiretinal membranes after surgery. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of ILM-Peeling on visual acuity outcomes and on occurrence of postoperative epiretinal membranes.
