The authors used vitreous surgery to treat 514 cases with retinal detachment. Three hundred sixty-five (71%) of the 514 eyes had retinal detachment associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. A successful anatomic result was achieved in 245 (67%) of these 365 cases and 227 (62%) obtained final vision of 5/200 or better. Five factors were associated with a successful visual result in diabetic eyes: (1) preoperative visual acuity of 5/200 or better, (2) retaining the crystalline lens, (3) an attached macula preoperatively, (4) preoperative retinal detachment limited to the posterior pole or less than one quarter the fundus area, and (5) absence of iatrogenic retinal breaks. Of those cases without diabetic retinopathy, a successful anatomic result was achieved in (1) 27 (84%) of 32 eyes with nondiabetic traction detachment, (2) 13 (65%) of 20 giant retinal tears, (3) 21 (50%) of 42 eyes with opaque media complicating retinal detachment, (4) 9 (90%) of 10 eyes with posterior retinal breaks, (5) 29 (42%) of 69 eyes with advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), and (6) 29 (64%) of 45 eyes with retinal detachment complicating prior ocular trauma.
