Brief Summary

To report cases who had received previous fovea-sparing internal limiting peeling membrane and developed secondary fovea epiretinal membrane contraction

Detailed Description

Purpose: To report the rare complication of foveal epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation on residual internal limiting membrane (ILM) with severe contraction after previous fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.
