Abstract
Purpose: Identification of proliferative diabetic retinopathy complicated by vitreomacular traction syndrome and performance evaluation of 23 gauge (G) pars plana vitrectomy using a spectral optical tomography (OCT).
Material and methods: 18 eyes of 15 patients underwent 23 G pars plana vitrectomy for complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy in 2009‑2012. Vitreomacular interface examination was performed by OCT with Spectral Cirrus HD (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany). Follow-up was 6 months to 3 years.
Results: Mean visual acuity in operated eyes was 1,34±0,30 in LogMAR units, after surgery improved to 0,75±0,34. OCT showed normalization of macular anatomy with reduction of macular thickness.
Conclusion: OCT remains a valuable tool as for anatomical localization of vitreomacular interface pathology, as well for surgical planning and changes after surgery in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy complicated by vitreomacular traction syndrome. 23 G vitrectomy allows to obtain satisfactory anatomical and functional results in different types of vitreomacular traction in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
