Dr. Chirag P. Shah demonstrates an ILM peeling method that uses the pinch technique. Using his ILM forceps, he carefully pinches the ILM to create a flap, which he then lifts to create a plane. He then brings the ILM around the fovea in a circular fashion, using vector forces to control the ILM in a parafoveal manner.
