title: Results of vitrectomy in Terson syndrome.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  To report visual results of vitrectomy in Terson syndrome
  
  
  METHODS
  In 11 patients, 15 eyes underwent vitreous surgery for Terson syndrome. The mean follow up was 18.3 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An incomplete posterior vitreous separation was noted in 10 eyes (66.7%). An epiretinal membrane was present in 4 eyes (26.7%), and in 3 eyes, a retinal fold along the arcade was noticed. Significant visual improvement occurred in all eyes; visual acuity of 20/40 or better was achieved in 14 eyes (93.3%). Only 3 eyes developed lens opacity after surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Vitrectomy in Terson syndrome provides excellent visual recovery. The complication rate, including the development of cataract, is low.
