Abstract

Vitrectomy is the treatment of choice for proliferative diabetic vitreoretinopathy with tractions and persistent vitreous hemorrhage. Since vitrectomy has recently been discussed as a possible therapy for diabetic maculopathy as well, we were especially interested in studying the change in diabetic maculopathy following surgery. For that purpose a grading system developed at our clinic was used.
