title: Vitrectomy for treatment of macular hole in diabetic retinopathy.
abstract: We evaluated the efficacy of vitrectomy for treatment of macular hole in 12 patients with diabetic retinopathy. Macular hole closure, improvement in visual acuity, and retinal attachment rates were all 83%. Postoperative complications included temporary intraocular pressure elevation (2), nuclear sclerosis (3), and retinal redetachment (2). Vitrectomy is an effective and safe method for treating macular hole in diabetic retinopathy.
