ABSTRACT
Eyes with active proliferative diabetic retinopathy with dense sub-hyaloid hemorrhage and significant visual loss represent an appropriate indication for prompt vitrectomy. Twenty-six such eyes in 22 patients were operated. The results are compared to 49 diabetic eyes undergoing vitrectomy for other complications of diabetic retinopathy. The results demonstrated both an improved anatomic success rate (85% compared to 73%) and a higher rate of reading visual function (54% compared to 18%) in the early vitrectomy group, substantiating the study hypothesis.
