Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the performance and anatomic outcomes of the Sharkskin internal limiting membrane (ILM) forceps and the Grieshaber ILM forceps in macular surgery. Peeling of the ILM is a difficult aspect of vitreoretinal surgery and often daunting task from a vitreoretinal fellow's perspective. The hypothesis is that the newer Sharkskin forceps have a larger platform and micro-abrasions along the forcep surface to increase grasping ability and potentially limit trauma to the retina surface compared to the Grieshaber forceps. This project may also serve as an education tool for fellows learning the basics of ILM peeling.
