Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: The epiretinal membranes did not stain clearly, while the internal limiting membranes did stain clearly. We could therefore distinguish the epiretinal membranes from the retina. We cut the internal limiting membrane, grasped it, and peeled off the internal limiting membrane underlying the epiretinal membranes using vitreoretinal forceps. A histopathologic examination confirmed the presence of proliferative cells and an extracellular matrix underlying the internal limiting membranes. CONCLUSION:
