Surgical method: a microscopic finding in the operating room

A microscopic finding in the operating room. The upper part of the photo represents the lower part of the patient’s eye. (a) Intravitreal perfluorocarbon liquid injection. (b) The eyeball is tilted, the superior portion is covered with perfluorocarbon liquid based on the horizontal line connecting the fovea and the optic disc, and indocyanine green (ICG) staining on the area below the horizontal line is performed. (c) The view after perfluorocarbon liquid removal; only the lower area is stained with ICG dye based on the horizontal line. (d) The internal limiting membrane (ILM) is peeled using forceps. (e) The ILM was peeled off from the entire macular area inside the vascular arcade
