Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if one of these gaz (air and sulfur hexafluoride) is better than the other in epiretinal membrane peeling surgery. Both are already used for this surgery and this study will tell us if one is better than the other.

Conditions

  • Epiretinal Membrane

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Epiretinal membrane peeling with fluid-air exchange

The intervention starts with a pars plana vitrectomy and then a epiretinal membrane peeling is performed. During the fluid-gaz exchange, the gaz used will be air. The remaining of the intervention is the same between the two arms.

PROCEDURE

Epiretinal membrane peeling with fluid-SF6 exchange

The intervention starts with a pars plana vitrectomy and then a epiretinal membrane peeling is performed. During the fluid-gaz exchange, the gaz used will be SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride). The remaining of the intervention is the same between the two arms.
