Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling in Patients Undergoing Vitrectomy for Tractional Retinal Detachment Secondary to Diabetic Retionpathy.

PDR patients undergoing PPV for TRD have a lower frequency of postsurgical ERM formation and a greater likelihood of attaining ≥ 20/50 Snellen visual acuity at 6 months when ILM peeling is conducted. Specialists may consider peeling of the ILM during PPV an important surgical maneuver in this patient population.
