Effect of Air-tamponade on Intraretinal Cystoid Changes After Membrane Peeling

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Epiretinal Membrane

• Registration Number: NCT03457584
• Lead Sponsor: Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery

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.
