Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Ophthalmic Pathology

Background:

  • Internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling is a common surgical technique in treating various retinal conditions.
  • Despite its benefits, ILM peeling can lead to significant visual impairment and structural retinal damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review the causes of vision loss and structural changes following ILM peeling.
  • To identify iatrogenic complications associated with ILM peeling procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating complications of ILM peeling.
  • Analysis of reported cases of vision loss and structural changes post-vitrectomy with ILM peeling.

Main Results:

  • Complications include retinal damage from light/dye toxicity, retinal nerve fiber layer alterations, and Müller cell damage.
  • Vision loss can result from eccentric or recurrent macular holes (MHs), persistent macular edema, and reappearance of epiretinal membranes (ERMs).
  • Glaucoma patients undergoing ILM peeling may experience worsened visual field test results.

Conclusions:

  • ILM peeling, while beneficial, carries risks of iatrogenic retinal damage and vision loss.
  • Complications are linked to the surgical procedure, associated instruments, and dyes used.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate mechanisms of persistent edema and optimize surgical safety.
