Schematic drawing of maculorrhexis ILM peeling. (a) After ICG staining, first create an ILM flap with 25-gauge forceps near the vascular arcade. (b) Proceed with ILM peeling in a circular fashion, caution must be taken not to peel off the central foveal area. (c, d, e) After finishing peeling of peripheral round of ILM, paracentral ILM was also gently peeled in a circular fashion. (f) When the circle is nearly complete, the ILM on the fovea is peeled off gently.
