Figure 5: Proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR).

Figure 5:

Intraoperative imaging before (A) and after (B) peeling of a PVR membrane, extending from the superior arcade to the inferotemporal periphery. The dashed line indicates the area from where the membrane was excised. (C) Light microscopy of the PVR membrane stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Different continuous membrane areas can be distinguished, representing different stages of PVR: paucicellular, lamellar collagen-rich areas with hyalocytes, suggestive for VCR (1); areas with increased cellular infiltration by RPE and glial cells (2); more fibrotic areas with low cellularity and myofibroblasts (3).
