The Surgeon's Role in Inducing and Controlling Motion Errors During Intraocular Membrane Peeling Procedures

Surgeon- and non-surgeon-related errors are apparent in all axes, but skilled surgeons correct these errors through visual feedback, resulting in better correction in the visible planes. Sclerotomy sites provide a pivoting and stabilizing point for the shaft of the forceps and it is likely that skilled surgeons make use of the sclerotomy point to dampen motion errors, a skill worth teaching to beginners.
