Hospital Based Study on Percentage Diabetic Patients Requiring Vitrectomy
Abstract: Introduction - Vitreous/preretinal haemorrhage is one of the most common complication of PDR that causes visual impairment. Tractional retinal detachment involving the macula also a major threat to the vision. Pars plana vitrectomy is the treatment choice for non-clearing haemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment involving the macula. Purpose To estimate the percentage of diabetic patients requiring pars plana vitrectomy. Methods - It is hospital based non-comparative, non-interventional epidemiological study done over the period of 1 year (March 2018-Feb 2019) Results - Out of total number of diabetic patients (1582) over a period of 1 yr 42 (2.65 %) pts with non-clearing vitreous/preretinal haemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment involving the macula required pars plana vitrectomy. Conclusion - There are significant percentage of PDR patients (2.65 %) presenting with vitreous haemorrhage, in whom vision can be improved with timely intervention in form of vitrectomy.
