Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All
Age
18 Years to 120 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: vitrectomy with peeling of the inner limiting mambrane in patients with epiretinal membrane or macular hole. Pre- and postoperative retinal mesurements with the high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: other indications for vitrectoma, OCT scans generated with non high resolution technique

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Difference of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL) in optic coherence tomography between preoperative mesurement and 4 months postoperative measurement

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Change in macular thickness measured by OCT before and 4 months after surgery, closure of macular hole, change in best corrected visual acuity (measured in 5 metres) from preoperative to 4 months postoperative, morphological changes within the layer of photoreceptors
