| Zusammenfassung: | OBJECTIVE: To compare peel-induced maculopathy (PIM) using surgical forceps versus the microvacuum pick (MVP) METHODS: Consecutive eyes undergoing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling using either the MVP or forceps were assessed. En face optical coherence tomography (OCT) images at the level of the nerve fiber layer were generated for 6-month postoperative visit. The percentage of the imaged area showing PIM was termed the PIM index. PIM severity was additionally measured using a qualitative PIM severity scale RESULTS: Seventy-four consecutive eyes underwent ILM peeling with either the MVP (36/74; 49%) or forceps (38/74; 51%). At month-6 postoperatively, the mean PIM index for forceps was 7.7% vs 4.7% for the MVP (P < 0.001, R2 = 0.15). At 6 months, 26/38 eyes (68.5%) in the forceps group had either moderate or severe PIM compared to 12/36 eyes (33.3%) in the MVP group (P = 0.001) CONCLUSIONS: ILM peeling with the MVP resulted in lower PIM severity compared to forceps.
