Reparative epiretinal fibrosis after diabetic vitrectomy.

Closed microsurgery for the haemorrhagic and tractional sequelae of proliferative diabetic retinopathy is frequently successful in restoring and maintaining useful vision. Severe complications may arise, however, including the reproliferation of cellular membranes on the retinal surface with subsequent retinal distortion or redetachment. The clinical and histopathological features of such reparative epiretinal fibrosis are presented and methods of prevention are discussed.

Prevention of blindness in diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetic retinopathy, hitherto the most common cause of blindness in those between 30-64 years of age has become treatable. Both diabetic maculopathy and proliferative retinopathy can be treated effectively by photocoagulation. The treatment is most successful if given early, before visual loss becomes irreversible. Recently, vitrectomy with additional microsurgical techniques has been developed and shown to be effective in restoring vision to many patients blind from the complications of proliferative retinopathy.
