Abstract

Abstract: : Purpose: To evaluate the visual results after vitrectomy. Methods: 81 eyes underwent vitreous surgery (30 eyes posterior hyaloid removal –Group 1; 51 eyes ILM peeling – Group 2) (mean follow up 18.4 months).All patients underwent Fundus Biomicroscopy, Fluorescein Angiography and OCT. Results: VA improved ≥ 2 Lines in 53 % of Group 1, and in 62 % of Group 2. In 10 % of Group 1 and 5 % of Group 2, worsened ≥ 2 Lines. In 3 cases of Group 1 we observed the relapse of macular edema due to ILM contraction. Conclusions: Vitrectomy with hyaloid removal and ILM peeling represents the best approach for tractional diabetic macular edema and prevents recurrent tractional edema.
