Efficacy of Fovea-Sparing Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling for Epiretinal Membrane Foveoschisis

Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the outcomes of vitrectomy with fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling (FSIP) for epiretinal membrane (ERM) foveoschisis based on new optical coherence tomography definitions. Methods: Twenty-three eyes of 22 patients (69.7 ± 9.9 years old) who underwent vitrectomy with FSIP without gas tamponade for ERM foveoschisis were analyzed. All patients underwent follow-up examinations for at least 12 months. In the FSIP technique, the ILM is peeled off in a donut shape, preserving the foveal ILM. The logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and surgical complications were examined. Results: The BCVA at 12 months improved significantly from baseline (p < 0.001). Baseline ellipsoid zone defects were found in 2 eyes (9%), and all defective eyes had recovered at 12 months. CMT decreased significantly from baseline (p < 0.001). Acute macular edema, full-thickness macular hole, and recurrence of ERM were not observed during follow-up. Discussion/Conclusion: FSIP achieved good visual outcome and retinal morphological change. Moreover, FSIP might avoid acute macular edema in ERM foveoschisis surgery.
