abstract: The history of 67 patients presenting with symptoms of macular pucker has been analysed retrospectively. Thirty-seven patients had a conservative follow-up. In 30 patients a pars plana vitrectomy with peeling of the premacular membrane has been performed. The natural course of the disease has been studied in the first group. For the second group surgical indications and results are discussed.
