Abstract
To determine prognostic factors of vitrectomy for posterior complications, secondary to uveitis, various perioperative factors and surgical results were anaylized in 30 eyes of 30 uveitis patients who were followed up for 6 months or more after vitrectomy. Surgical indications were vitreous opacity, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment. Postoperatively, retina was reattached in 15 eyes(83.3%) among 18 eyes. Postoperatively, visual acuity was maintained or improved in 25 eyes(83.3%) among 30 eyes. Cystoid macular edema was the leading cause of poor visual outcome. Preoperative electroretinographic findings and the duration of postoperative inflammation had statistical significance on the final visual outcome. These results suggest that chronic uveitis patients with vitreoretinal complications can be managed by vitreous surgery with good anatomic and functional results.
