Morphology of surgical ILM-specimens in epiretinal membranes, macular holes, and diabetic retinopathy
Acta Ophthalmologica, 08/10/2012
Pournaras CJ – Scanning electron microscopy indicated that active contraction mechanisms are always expressed in epiretinal macular membrane and underling ILM tissues in eyes with diabetic maculopathy and late stages of macular hole.ILM folding seems to be myofibroblast–independent in idiopathic epiretinal membrane cases.
