Abstract
Backgraund: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main causes of decreased and irreversible loss of visual acuity in patients of working age. Vitreopapillary tracison syndrome (VPTS) is a variant of the course of DR, which occurs for a long time with a blurred clinical picture.
Aim: To determine the effectiveness of earlier vitreoretinal surgery (VRS) in patients with VPTS due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (VPTS).
Materials and methods: The data of 75 people (75 eyes) were processed in the study. Of these, 40 eyes were operated on at advanced stages of diabetic VPTS, 35 eyes at early stages.
Results: Vitrectomy was proposed and applied in the early stages of diabetic VPTS.
Conclusion: Correct and timely diagnosis, early VRS provide a greater chance of obtaining a higher BCVA in the postoperative period in this category of patients.
Keywords: рroliferative diabetic retinopathy, vitreopapillary traction syndrome, vitreoretinal surgery.
