Abstract

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Dhami’s diamond-dusted internal limiting membrane (ILM) forceps. METHODS: ILM peeling is now a widely recognized technique routinely used to treat traction maculopathies and requires additional intraoperative agents, instruments, and an adequate learning curve to prevent complications such as nerve fiber layer defects and iatrogenic eccentric retinal holes. CONCLUSIONS: The authors present their initial experience with a novel instrument for peeling ILM, in which the outer surface and tip of ILM forceps are dusted with diamond to create a rough surface that helps in scraping the membrane and simultaneously allows the surgeon to peel the membrane adequately with minimal damage to the retinal surface.
