The effects of vitrectomy were influenced by the location of hemorrhage from the RAM. The VA was poor in eyes exhibiting dense submacular hemorrhage. However, since hemorrhage from a RAM was present at various levels within the eye, it was difficult to evaluate the amount of submacular hemorrhage prior to surgery.
Autologous serum irrigated in the vitreous cavity just before completion of macular hole surgery can help remove ICG dye used in surgery. The application was simple and safe and significantly shortened the period of residual retinal ICG staining.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
