title: [Results of vitrectomy in children].
abstract: Presented are the results of vitrectomy in children operated in the Ophthalmological Department of Children Health Centre. The procedure was preformed in 110 eyes including 32 vitrectomies and 78 vitrectomies connected with lensectomy. Operated were eyes with chronical uveitis of various etiology, with posttraumatic changes, after vitreal haemorrhages in Eales' disease, in persistent vitreal artery cases. Improvement of the visual acuity was achieved in 68 cases (61.8 p.c.), deterioration was observed in 28 (25.5 p.c.); the visual acuity did not change in 14 cases (12.7 p.c.). Retinal detachment was the most frequent complication--38 cases (34.5 p.c.); from this number 10 cases (9 p.c.) improved after a repeated operation.
