Microvascular Properties of Dissociated Optic Nerve Fiber Layer (DONFL) After Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling

Key Points

To investigate the microvascular changes in the dissociated optic nerve fiber layer following internal limiting membrane peeling.
Analyzed microvascular properties of the dissociated optic nerve fiber layer
Observed capillary displacement from the optic nerve fiber layer to nearby areas
Examined structural changes in the retina post-surgery
Identified a shift in capillaries from the optic nerve fiber layer to adjacent regions
Concluded that retinal structural reorganization extends beyond the nerve fiber layer
Supported the theory of significant microvascular network alteration following peeling

Abstract

DONFL is accompanied by a shift within the microvascular network, with capillaries presumably being displaced from DONFL into peri-DONFL areas. These findings support the thesis of a more extensive reorganization of retinal structures that goes markedly beyond the retinal nerve fibre layer.
