Hi EyeBugr: Experience is the answer. Cortical vitreous is 'stringy' and not a distinct membrane, ERM is 'thick' and a distinct membrane, ILM is thin and friable. Really, you need to keep using Triesence or Kenalog to see the difference. When in doubt, it is very easy to reapply and see if anything highlights.

how does one know that ILM is peeled and not ERM/hyaloid?
