Purpose: To identify early and late retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) modification after internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic macular hole or epiretinal membrane and to correlate RNFLT to visual field indices. Methods: Single-center, prospective, interventional consecutive case series. Complete ophthalmic examination, fundus images, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography were performed in 30 eyes of 30 patients before and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Six…

Transient Increase of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness after Vitrectomy with ILM Peeling for Idiopathic Macular Hole
TLDR
The postoperative RNFL was thicker in all but the nasal-inferior sector for at least 12 M after surgery, which may indicate damage and mild edema of the RNFL.
Longitudinal changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness after vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane.
TLDR
It was found that ERM itself and the removal procedure resulted in decreased RNFL thickness, and the RNFL was statistically significantly thinner at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, compared to the baseline thickness.
ARCUATE NERVE FIBER LAYER CHANGES AFTER INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE PEELING IN IDIOPATHIC EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE
TLDR
Early postoperative SANFL is correlated with late focal retinal nerve fiber layer thinning in the temporal sectors, and intraoperative surgical grasping seems to be a leading factor for the onset of SANFL.
Tomographic Structural Changes of the Inner Retina after Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane
TLDR
The retinal thickness of each layer showed anatomical changes from ILM peeling and ERM removal, and Nasal parafoveal thickening and temporal thinning occurred in the inner retinal architecture, which might be affected by ILMPeeling size.
Peripapillary RNFL Thickness Changes Evaluated with Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography after Uncomplicated Macular Surgery for Epiretinal Membrane
TLDR
The selective decrease in the temporal and inferior p-RNFL thickness after vitrectomy for ERM removal could indicate inner retinal damage related to ILM peeling.
PERIPAPILLARY RETINAL NERVE FIBER THICKNESS CHANGES AFTER VITRECTOMY FOR EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE IN EYES WITH AND WITHOUT VITREOUS DETACHMENT
TLDR
Postoperative p-RNFL thickness after vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane tended to decrease in the temporal sector in all eyes and in theporal inferior and nasal inferior sectors in eyes with surgically induced PVD.
A study on change of macular retinal thickness and its relationship with vision before and after operation to idiopathic macular epiretinal membranes.
TLDR
Internal limiting membrane peeling can enhance the vision of patients and improve macula morphology, while the status in central macula and nasal side has not completely recovered.
Changes in Retinal Thickness after Vitrectomy for Epiretinal Membrane with and without Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling
TLDR
Vitrectomy for ERM affects the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) or the RTs 12 months postoperatively, and additional ILM peeling does not affect them, but it might reduce the ERM recurrence rate.
SPECTRAL DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY–BASED MICROSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF RETINAL ARCHITECTURE POST INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE PEELING FOR SURGERY OF IDIOPATHIC MACULAR HOLE REPAIR
TLDR
Internal limiting membrane peel is associated with significant alteration in inner retinal architecture, especially in ganglion cell layer, which can adversely influence functional outcome of the surgery and makes it imperative to avoid peeling internal limiting membrane over a larger surface area.
Changes in the Ganglion Cell Complex after Inner Limiting Membrane Peeling for Epiretinal Membrane in Glaucoma Patients.
TLDR
The present results suggest that this procedure does not cause structural exacerbation of glaucoma in glAUcoma patients and that there is no significant difference between groups in the thickness of the GCC or its rate of thinning after ILM peeling.

SWELLING OF THE ARCUATE NERVE FIBER LAYER AFTER INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE PEELING
TLDR
Swelling of the arcuate retinal nerve fiber layer often occurs after internal limiting membrane peeling for macular hole and epiretinal membrane, and is a transient feature after surgery that does not affect visual recovery.
Dissociated optic nerve fiber layer appearance after internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic macular holes.
RETINAL NERVE FIBER LAYER THICKNESS EVALUATION AFTER TRYPAN BLUE–ASSISTED MACULAR SURGERY
TLDR
Trypan blue–assisted peeling of macular epiretinal membranes and/or internal limiting membrane does not induce significant changes in RNFL thickness as measured by optical coherence tomography-3, butInternal limiting membrane peeling may induce visible changes of the inner retinal surface possibly because of microdefects on macular nerve fiber layers.
CHANGES OF PARAFOVEAL RETINAL NERVE FIBER LAYER THICKNESS ANALYZED BY SPECTRAL-DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AFTER PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY
TLDR
Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was reduced in some of the quadrants of the vitrectomized eye during the 6-month postoperative follow-up period, suggesting spectral-domain optical coherence tomography can be clinically useful for detection of localized RNFL defects in patients who underwent vitrectomy.
Analysis of the retinal nerve fiber layer after indocyanine green-assisted vitrectomy for idiopathic macular holes.
Visual field defects after intravitreous administration of indocyanine green in macular hole surgery.
TLDR
It is indicated that visual field defects, specifically nasal defects, can occur after macular hole surgery with ICG-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling, and that the incidence depends on the concentration of the ICG solution and/or the exposure time to the retina.
Dissociated optic nerve fiber layer appearance of the fundus after idiopathic epiretinal membrane removal.
LONG-TERM OUTCOMES OF VISUAL FIELD DEFECTS AFTER INDOCYANINE GREEN-ASSISTED MACULAR HOLE SURGERY
TLDR
The visual field defect in eyes that had undergone vitrectomy with staining of the internal limiting membrane with ICG can continue to deteriorate for at least 3 years and should be followed for a longer period to determine the long-term effect of ICG.
Microperimetric determination of retinal sensitivity in areas of dissociated optic nerve fiber layer following internal limiting membrane peeling
TLDR
DONFL associated with ILM peeling does not alter retinal function in the area of the DONFL as it does with a nerve fiber layer defect.
