PURPOSE To evaluate a spectral imaging technique to detect the area of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling after vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective study, 15 eyes of 15 patients with idiopathic macular holes were tested. After vitrectomy with ILM peeling, retinal images were taken with color fundus photography, red-free fundus photography, and ...

Context: To clarify if Internal Limiting Membrane (ILM) peeling during Para Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) for diabetic macular hole can improve the visual and anatomical outcome of Diabetic Macular Holes (DMH). Design: Prospective case-control study. Participants: 60 eyes of 60 diabetic patients with DMH. Methods: 30 eyes underwent PPV with ILM peeling (group 1), while PPV only was performed in the ot...

Phototoxic maculopathy caused by endoillumination during macular surgery is uncommon. Previously identified risk factors have included intensity of the light source, proximity to the retinal surface, and length of exposure. In the era of indocyanine green (ICG)-assisted internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, the use of ICG, and the technique of ILM peeling may both contribute to subsequent p...

The internal limiting membrane (ILM) is the structural interface between the vitreous and retina. As the basement membrane of retinal Müller cells, it serves as a protective barrier and provides biomechanical strength for the central retina.1-3 It also acts as a scaffold for cellular proliferation for myofibroblasts, fibrocytes, and retinal pigmented epithelial cells. ILM removal ensures separa...

Sub-internal limiting membrane (sub-ILM) hemorrhage is a relatively rare disease which is associated with different etiologies and often leads to loss of visual acuity. We report two cases of sub-ILM hemorrhage, both confirmed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and treated with an intravitreal injection of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) followed by an octafluoropropane (C3F8) pneumopexy ...

Divine view is to industrialization a part of the process of economic development. It has been pointed out frequently enough that the concept of industrialization and commerce can well be found in the divine sources. Because all that subscribe to the divine rules of governance become Ibadah (form of worship), hence industrialization within the religious ambit is also an Ibadah. Divine messages,...

The distribution of fibronectin and laminin in diabetic human eyes was determined by indirect immunofluorescent techniques. The intense fluorescence suggests increased amounts of fibronectin and laminin in the diabetic internal limiting membrane (ILM). A double laminated pattern of fluorescence for both glycoproteins suggests structural abnormalities of the ILM of the posterior retina. Preretin...

The Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is characterized by subdural hematomas (SH), retinal hemorrhages (RH), and multiple fractures of long bones without external evidence of head trauma. Subinternal limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage, also known as macular schisis, is a characteristic finding of this entity. There is no guideline on the right time to indicate surgical treatment. This report describes...

We conducted a meta-analysis of published retrospective studies and compared the effectiveness of pars plana vitrectomy with and without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM). The results revealed that patients in the IERM+ILM peeling group had better BCVA after surgery within 12 months than those in IERM peeling group. But patients in the IERM peeli...
