The preoperative features, intraoperative details and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed.Results: All 10 subjects underwent PPV with ILM peeling without significant intraoperative or postoperative complications at 6 months follow-up. Visual acuity improved from a baseline of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.48– 1.0) logMAR (Snellen 20/110) to 0.46 (95% CI: 0.3– 0.62) logMAR (Snellen 20/58) at 6 months follow-up (p=0.045). Optical coherence tomography central macular thickness reduced from a baseline of 456 (95% CI: 394.7– 516.4) microns to 316.8 (95% CI: 275.9– 357.7) microns at 6 months follow-up (p < 0.001).Conclusion: This pilot study suggests that PPV with ILM peeling may be a viable treatment option for the management of treatment naïve DME in subjects with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Development of a randomized controlled trial may be justified to validate the results of this study.Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier #: NCT03660345.Keywords: vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, diabetic macular edema |
