Romano MR, et al. - Authors described the functional and histopathological findings after macular peeling using different dyes in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). As per data, based on the amounts of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neurofilament protein (NF) in the specimens, the intraretinal tissue was ripped off with the ERM/inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. Iatrogenic stress to the retinal tissue was reduced with lutein dyes. These dyes allow a faster functional recovery in the first 3 months following surgery, thereby suggesting a less iatrogenic adhesion to the retinal tissue.
