Clinical variables and their relation to visual outcome after vitrectomy in eyes with diabetic retinal traction detachment.

Background: To analyse vitrectomy results in diabetic eyes with retinal traction detachment and to investigate which variables are associated with a worse visual outcome.

Methods: Forty-four diabetic eyes (33 patients) with central retinal traction detachment were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: After a median follow-up of 10 months, median visual acuity significantly improved from 20/800 to 20/160 (P=0.
