Methods: A total of fifty (50) patients with diagnosis of PVR in LRBT hospital Lahore were selected within a duration of 12 months from April-2018 to April-2019 for this prospective observational study. Patients of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) who underwent vitrectomy using temporary SO tamponade and had completely attached retina at the time of SOR, were included.
Objective: To determine astigmatic and intraocular pressure changes after 23G transconjunctival parsplana vitrectomy in diabetic retinopathy cases with the use of temporary 10/0 nylon suture to sclerotomy site.
Methods: The prospective experimental study was conducted during 2018 at Zaheer Laser Eye Centre, Sargodha, Pakistan, and comprised patients with confirmed diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy.
