Abstract:

In recent years, the widespread use of ILM peeling in macular hole surgery has been recognized due to the improved healing rate of macular hole. However, whether this operation affect the function of retina in macular is unknown. Therefore, the evaluation of the macular after ILM peeling has been gaining attention by doctors. Microperimetry is a vital procedure to assess the function of retina in macula, it was used widely in macular disease such as epiretinal membrane, central serous chorioretinopathy, diabetic macular edema, etc. The review is aimed at the influence on the function of retina in macular after ILM peeling measured by Microperimeter-3, we found ILM peeling influence the function of the retina by mechanic force which was extremely hard to avoid and toxicity of drains such as ICG, TA and BBG. With respect to the comparison between Microperimeter-3 and other retinal functional examinations, merits and demerits are showed on Microperimeter-3 and other techniques. Due to the launch of MP-3, the prospect for the use of microperimetry should draw a lot attention.(Int Rev Ophthalmol,  2017,  41:   357-Cover III)
