Abstract
The present study indicates that the DONFL appearance might be related to ILM peeling and is not associated with the loss of optic nerve fibers. These results are consistent with the suggestion that the DONFL appearance might be caused by cleavage of the optic nerve fiber bundles due to damage to the Müller cells, which are in close contact with the ILM and act to maintain the close proximity of the nerve fiber bundles.
