Abstract |
The retrospective study of fifty nine eyes which underwent the vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy was performed to determine the clinical feature, incidence of postoperative complication, and showed that the final visual acuity improved in 34(58%) eyes, unchanged in 14(23%), and worsened in 11(19%). Postoperative complcations included cataract, vitreous hemorrhage, increased intraocular pressure, corneal epithelial defect, retinal detachment and iris neovascularization. The postoperative complications associated with poor visual outcomes were iris neovascularization, increased intraocular pressure and retinal detachment. |
