Micro-invasive vitrectomy combined with intravitreal dye in the treatment of the epimacular fibrosis

The article presents the results of a microinvasive vitrectomy 27-gauge of 17 patients (17 eyes) with epimacular fibrosis. In the process of operation was used by national combined dye “Staining Solution for ophthalmic surgery” (OPTIMED, Russia) for differential staining and visualization of structures of vitreo-macular interface - epimacular membranes and the inner limiting membrane. As a result of microinvasive chromovitrectomy deletion rendered epimacular membranes and the inner limiting membrane was achieved in all patients. The use of dyes allowed at all stages of peeling clearly control the course of vitreoretinal interventions, and the use of tools caliber 27 gauge provided small injury intervention. Presents the anatomic and functional outcomes: best-corrected visual acuity increased to 0,59±0,11 compared to the baseline of 0.29±0.11 (p
