Subject/Participant Groups:
Study Group: Subjects undergo internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during vitrectomy for the indication of tractional retinal detachment Control Group: Subjects do not undergo ILM peeling during vitrectomy for the indication of tractional retinal detachment
Hypothesis:
Subjects undergoing ILM peeling during vitrectomy will have lower central macular thickness on OCT, fewer postoperative epiretinal membranes, and thereby better final visual acuity to control subjects Randomization: Subjects will be randomized according to a coin toss during PPV, once Grade 2 or Grade 3 vitreoretinal adhesion has been determined: heads undergo ILM peeling, while tails do not.
Number of Subjects: With study power of 80%, a significance level of 0.05, a sample size of 60 patients for each group was calculated.
