Impact of ILM Peeling in RRD/ I-Peel

The standard technique for the removal of the inner limiting membrane is a dye-assisted ILM peeling established since 20 years as the standard of care to treat vision loss due to epiretinal membranes or macular holes in eyes with an otherwise stable retina, but not during retinal detachment surgery. Other dyes may show a stronger staining effect but since there is evidence of a potential toxicity of ICG the investigators use the well-tolerated and for this purpose approved trypan blue dye Membrane Blue ® (Dorc). This intervention will be performed in addition to standard vitreoretinal re-attachment surgery.
