Eye (London, England), 1988•europepmc.orgThirty four eyes which underwent vitrectomy because of diabetic proliferative retinopathy
were reviewed. The overall success rate of the operation was 62%. Excluding table top
retinal detachments, which all did badly, the success rate was 72%. Grading by ultrasound
was found to be helpful in;(a) planning surgical approach,(b) assessing visual outcome. The
most common late complication was cataract. Extracapsular cataract extraction with
implantation was found to be successful in these cases.
