- Abstract
The article discusses a clinical study which evaluated the possible effects of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) either with or without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for macular edema associated with macular vein occlusion. Comparison of 28 eyes with PPV alone and 13 eyes with ILM peeling revealed an improvement of postoperative mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and a decrease in foveal thickness in both patient groups. Findings show a thicker mean foveal thickness in the ILM-off group compared with the PPV alone group.
