Fig. 2. A. A lighted pic is used to elevate and reflect the edge of epiretinal tissue so that foci of fibrovascular adhesion can be visualized. B. Horizontal scissors are used to amputate the fibrovascular adhesion at the retinal surface. C. After the epiretinal membrane has been dissected up to the optic nerve, forceps are used to grasp the membrane and gently avulse it from the optic nerve head. D. The epiretinal membrane has been completely removed, and panretinal endophotocoagulation is applied.
