Abstract:
We investigated the clinical efficiency and complications of treatment of retinal sub-inner limiting membrane (sub-ILM) hemorrhage by 577-nm semiconductive laser membranotomy. Methods The clinical features, ocular fundus photography, and SD-OCT image of patients who received 577-nm laser membranotomy for sub-ILM hemorrhage were assessed from January 2017 to April 2022 in this retrospective case-series study. Results A total of 19 patients (19 eyes) were treated for sub-ILM hemorrhage of the macula, in which eight were women and 11 were men. The age was 15–83 years (with an average age of 49.05 ± 19.41 years old). The right eye was affected in 12 patients, the left eye in seven patients. The follow-up period after laser treatment was from 0.5 to 9 months (with an average follow-up time of 3.25 ± 2.45 months). Treatment was not successful in one patient, and 577-nm laser membranotomy was successful in 18 patients (equaling a success rate of 94.74%). The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before laser treatment was from figure count to 40/200, and the BCVA after laser treatment was from 20/2000 to 20/20. Complications after laser treatment comprised macular hole (one patient), macular epi-membrane (one patient), vitreous hemorrhage without absorption (two patients), and sub-ILM cavity (12 patients). Conclusions The 577-nm laser is effective in treating sub-ILM hemorrhage and has a high success rate. Posttreatment complications should be monitored, and vitrectomy was needed with long-lasting vitreous hemorrhage and macular hole.
