AIM To assess whether low concentrations of a fluorescent dye such as Rhodamine 6G would help the unaided human eye visualise the vitreous and the internal limiting membrane (ILM) under standard halogen illumination. MATERIAL/METHODS The UV/Vis absorption (E) and fluorescence (I) spectra of Rhodamine 6G in water were measured and compared with Indocyanine Green (ICG). Surgery was performed in...

In this study, lipid analysis based on isotope-labeled methlylation (ILM) was performed by nanoflow ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-eletrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (nUPLC-ESI-MS/MS) for enhanced detection and quantification of targeted phospholipids. ILM depends on methylation of phosphate groups by (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane, and the ILM based quantitation with re...

Purpose. To quantitatively evaluate the effects of peeled internal limiting membrane (ILM) area and anatomic outcomes following macular hole surgery using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods. Forty-one eyes in 37 consecutive patients with idiopathic, Gass stage 3-4 macular hole (MH) were enrolled in this retrospective comparative study. All patients were divided into ...

A new motion illusion, "illusory rebound motion" (IRM), is described. IRM is qualitatively similar to illusory line motion (ILM). ILM occurs when a bar is presented shortly after an initial stimulus such that the bar appears to move continuously away from the initial stimulus. IRM occurs when a second bar of a different color is presented at the same location as the first bar within a certain d...

We aimed to compare the results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, an alternative therapeutic strategy, with those of medical treatment for chronic macular edema. We conducted a review of the literature on the microscopic, anatomical, and functional reasons for performing PPV with ILM peeling in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). We searched t...

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...
