Viual field defect after uneventful vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane with indocyanine green–aited internal limiting membrane peeling

Purpoe To report viual field defect after vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane with indocyanine green (ICG)–aited internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. Deign Interventional conecutive cae erie. Method A retropective review of 16 eye of 16 patient who underwent vitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membrane. Indocyanine green-aited ILM peeling wa performed in 7 of 16 eye. The main outcome meaure wa potoperative viual field. Reult Four of even eye (57%) with ICG-aited ILM peeling had viual field defect potoperatively. The field defect identified were naal in three eye; in the fourth eye, the viual field wa contricted to approximately 30 degree. None of the nine eye without ICG-aited ILM peeling had a viual field defect. Concluion Peripheral viual field defect may occur after vitrectomy with ICG-aited ILM peeling. Although the caue of the defect i unclear, the potential role of ICG toxicity require further invetigation.
