[The effect of vitreous surgery combined with intraocular lens implantation in proliferative diabetic retinopathy].

Purpose: To evaluate the effecting and complications of the vitreous surgery combined with intraocular lens implantation in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Methods: Forty-one eyes of 38 cases of proliferative diabetic retinopathy complicated with serious cataract were treated with phacoemulsification, pars plan vitctomy, peeling, photocoagulation, intraocular lens implantation and gas tampanade. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, anterior segment by slit lamp, fundus fluorescein angiography and surgery complications were analyzed.

Results: Average follow-up was 9 months. The visual acuity was improved in 36 eyes. The anterior response of operation was slight. The complications included cornea edema in 1 eye, high intraocular press in 1 eye, rubeosis in 1 eye and retinal detachment in 1 eye.

Conclusions: The vitreous surgery combined with intraocular lens implantation was an effective operation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy with serious cataract.
