Surgical outcome of patients with macular drusen and co-existing abnormalities of the vitreoretinal interface, who routinely undergo pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling, is evaluated. Best corrected visual acuity as well as optical coherence tomography data are compared at baseline and last follow up. The rate of development of choroidal neovascularization postoperatively is noted.
