Article Synopsis
- - This study compares the outcomes of early versus delayed pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in patients experiencing their first vitreous hemorrhage (VH) due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) at Moorfields Eye Hospital from 2014 to 2016, excluding patients with specific eye conditions.
- - Patients were categorized into two groups: early PPV (within 6 weeks) and delayed PPV (after 6 weeks), with data collected on visual acuity and complications at baseline and 12 months post-surgery.
- - Results indicated that the early PPV group had significantly better visual acuity and fewer serious complications compared to the delayed group, highlighting the benefits of earlier intervention.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of asynchronous virtual post-operative assessments following vitreoretinal surgery and procedures compared to traditional face-to-face assessments in a high-volume tertiary eye centre.
Methods: Prospective comparative clinical series study of patients who had undergone vitreoretinal surgery or post-laser retinopexy. Patients received both virtual and face-to-face assessments.
