Since june 1992 to march 1993 we removed the subretinal neovascular membranes in 4 patients. In three of them, aged 72-75 years, the membrane was diagnosed by age-related macular degeneration. In 57-y. old woman the membrane originated presumable in an ethiologically uncleared choroiditis. In the last two patients we used technique after Thomas and Kaplan with special instruments from DORC. In one patients the visual acuity improved and in three patients remained same, or a little worse than before. The chirurgical removal of the subretinal neovascular membrane is an alternative mode in the treatment of these membranes.
