Retinal Sensitivity
Conditions
Brief summary
To compare the retinal sensitivity of complete internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling versus foveal sparing ILM peeling during vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane or macular hole.
Interventions
PROCEDUREComplete Macular Peeling
A complete peeling of the internal limiting membrane was performed
PROCEDUREMacular Peeling with Foveal Sparing
A partial peeling of the internal limiting membrane was performed, sparing the fovea.

Intervention model description
This was a prospective study including ninety-one eyes of 190 phakic patients scheduled to undergo vitrectomy for idiopathic macular pucker or macular hole, from July 2014 to December 2016. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to complete peeling of the ILM (CP group) or foveal sparing (FS group).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Retinal Sensitivity (dB) | 12-month | Microperimetry was done to assess macular sensitivity |
| Visual Acuity (LogMAR) | 12-month | ETDRS charts were used to assess best corrected visual acuity |
| Central Retinal Thickness (microns) | 12-month | Optical Coherence Tomography will be used to assess central retinal thickness |
