Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Peeling of the ILM is a difficult aspect of vitreoretinal surgery and often daunting task from a vitreoretinal fellow's perspective. The hypothesis is that the newer Sharkskin forceps have a larger platform and micro-abrasions along the forcep surface to increase grasping ability and potentially limit trauma to the retina surface compared to the Grieshaber forceps. This project may also serve as an education tool for fellows learning the basics of ILM peeling.
