Retina: Medical and Surgical Management
by Atul Kumar, Raghav RavaniIn this procedure, the outer edge of the membrane is identified and a dissection plane is created with the use of a blunt-tipped pick or a bent needle. Once the edge of the membrane is seen, it may be gently lifted off the retinal surface with the use of a fine forceps or a pick. The membrane should be lifted tangentially rather than in an anteroposterior direction to avoid pulling on and tearing the underlying retina. This maneuver is relatively simple to perform, if the edge of the membrane is visible.
