Abstract
Previous works and surgical practices had shown that Indocyanine Green (ICG)-assisted peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) in macular hole surgery may cause retinal damage. Different hypothesis were proposed in order to explain the induced damage. In this study the possibility of heat damage to the retina is investigated.
