Abstract
We review 12 consecutive cases of pre-macular fibrosis (PMF) treated by vitreous surgical techniques. The causes of PMF included retinal detachment surgery in four patients, idiopathic in three patients, laser treatment in three patients, pars planitis in one patient and diabetic retinopathy in one patient. The membrane was successfully removed in all the patients. One patient developed a retinal detachment that was repaired successfully. All patients had improved visual acuity (VA) of two Snellen lines or more and six patients achieved VA of 6/12 or better. Patients with PMF following retinal detachment had poorer final VA.
