Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find out whether peeling of the epimacular membrane (EMM) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) for symptomatic lamellar macular hole (LMH), causes impairment of the visual cortex.

Patients And Methods: This pilot study consisted of 8 eyes of 4 patients (2 females and 2 males), mean age 69.25 years (60-83 years), who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and EMM and ILM peeling in one eye for lamellar macular hole The second eye remained intact.

Purpose: To evaluate the function of the blood aqueous barrier(BAB) in the eyes with silicone oil emulsification (SOE).

Methods: Protein concentrations, expressed in albumin equivalents,were determined in aqueous humor of the eyes with SOE in 11 consecutive patients by means of proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. Correlations with various clinical factors were studied.
