The ERM/ILM peeling is thought to rip off the intraretinal tissue, based on the amounts of GFAP and NF in the specimens. The use of lutein dyes reduces iatrogenic stress to the retinal tissue and allows a faster functional recovery in the first 3 months after surgery, suggesting a less iatrogenic adhesion to the retinal tissue.
