SECONDARY, RETINAL HAEMORRHAGE
Immediately following surgery, surgeons were asked to guess the type of forceps allocated, disclose any unmasking, grade the ease of ILM peel initiation, the downward force required and the ability to release the ILM from the forceps, using a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (very difficult) to 5 (very easy).Surgical videos were graded by two independent observers (MF and AR) masked to the forceps and surgeon, with arbitration by a third (RJH) in cases of disagreement. Position and number of ILM primary and secondary pick-up points or attempts, any retinal haemorrhage, retinal trauma and ILM peeling duration were registered.
