Abstract
Aim of the work: To assess the role of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling with vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and detection of associated macular changes
Method: 50 patients with a primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment that match the inclusion criteria were studied. Patients were subgrouped into two groups; the first group underwent ppv without ILM peeling and the second group underwent ILM peeling with vitrectomy. The main outcomes recorded were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the occurrence of ERM on SD-OCT.
Results: There were 25 eyes in each group. The patients in the second group did not develop ERM at the end of the follow-up period compared to the presence of 28 % in the first group who developed ERM. There was no statistical difference in mean BCVA between both groups.
