Internal Limiting Membrane Transposition for Persistent Macular Holes Using Double Layers of Viscoelastic.

Internal limiting membrane (ILM) grafting provides a useful option for repair of large and refractory macular holes that fail to close following prior ILM removal. However, current ILM graft techniques are associated with several challenges that may result in failure, most notably the difficulty in maintaining the graft in situ. In this video, the authors describe their modified technique for ILM grafting using a double layer of viscoelastic for stabilization in situ during the procedure. Four of five eyes managed with this technique demonstrated type 1 closure, and all eyes demonstrated improvement in visual acuity. Copyright 2019, SLACK Incorporated.
