  Purpose: To evaluate the visual, anatomical outcomes, complications and the predictive preoperative and intraoperative factors of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in a large Asian tertiary eye center. Methods: This is a consecutive retrospective review of 106 eyes that underwent PPV for PDR complications in 2013. The functional success was defined as visual acuity of 20/200 or better while the anatomical success was defined as 360° flat retina without endo-tamponade at one year. Results: The overall functional and anatomical success was 77.4% and 94.3%, respectively. The common complications were iatrogenic break (14.2%), raised intraocular pressure (IOP) (13.2%), cataract (13.2%) and recurrent vitreous hemorrhage (12.3%). The use of intraoperative triamcinolone (OR: 0.36, p=0... View More»
