Prophylactic vitrectomy in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

G W Blankenship, R Machemer.   

Abstract

Ten eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy but good visual function had pars plana viterectomies in an attempt to limit the future progression of the disease and maintain the good preoperative visual acuities. This goal was successfully achieved in nine of the eyes with no evidence of new proliferations after the vitrectomy procedure.
