Abstract

In 6 patients with macular puckers (3 spontaneous puckers and 3 puckers after retinal detachment procedures), the epiretinal tissue was surgically removed by pars plana vitrectomy and membrane peeling. 5 patients had visual improvement initially, 3 permanently. Cataract and retinal detachment were observed as complications. No recurrence of the macular pucker occured.
