Functional and structural outcomes of ILM peeling in uncomplicated macula-off RRD using microperimetry & en-face OCT.

Purpose: To investigate functional and structural outcomes of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during primary vitrectomy for uncomplicated macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: In this prospective interventional randomized comparative study, 43 eyes (43 patients) were randomly divided into group A (20), and group B (23), with and without ILM peeling respectively. Patients were evaluated clinically, and by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and microperimetry (MP) following silicone oil removal.
