Effect of Air-tamponade on Intraretinal Cystoid Changes After Membrane Peeling
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients with intraretinal cystoid changes before scheduled membrane peeling for epiretinal membranes are included. Patients are randomized for balanced salt solution (BSS) or air-tamponade.

Detailed Description
Patients with intraretinal cystoid changes before scheduled membrane peeling for epiretinal membranes are included. 23G-pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling is performed in all patients. Before surgery patients are randomized for BSS or air-tamponade. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is performed 5 days after and 3 months after surgery, visual acuity is measured 3 months after surgery.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: BSS arm BSS is given at the end of surgery |
Procedure: BSS arm
epiretinal membranes are excised during membrane Peeling and BSS is left in the eye
|
Experimental: air arm air-tamponade is given at the end of surgery |
Procedure: air arm
epiretinal membranes are excised during membrane peeling and air-tamponade is left in the eye
|
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- resorption of intraretinal cystoid changes after surgery [3 months]
occurrence of intraretinal cystoid changes will be diagnosed by OCT
