Interventions
PROCEDURE

Epiretinal membrane peeling with fluid-air exchange

The intervention starts with a pars plana vitrectomy and then a epiretinal membrane peeling is performed. During the fluid-gaz exchange, the gaz used will be air. The remaining of the intervention is the same between the two arms.

PROCEDURE

Epiretinal membrane peeling with fluid-SF6 exchange

The intervention starts with a pars plana vitrectomy and then a epiretinal membrane peeling is performed. During the fluid-gaz exchange, the gaz used will be SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride). The remaining of the intervention is the same between the two arms.
