title: Safety and Outcome of Microincision Vitreous Surgery in Uveitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the outcome of microincision vitreous surgery (MIVS) in uveitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  In total, 103 patients (106 eyes) underwent diagnostic MIVS between March 2012 and April 2015. Postoperative evaluation included vitreous haze grading from clinical/electronic records, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and complications.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Mean age was 36.8 ± 13.9 years (range: 8-80 years). Mean follow-up after MIVS was 12.2 ± 7.2 months (median 12 months). Mean vitreous haze grading was 2.39 ± 0.98 (preoperatively), 0.36 ± 0.73 postoperatively (1 week), and 0.02 ± 0.2 at 1 month (p < 0.001). Mean BCVA was 1.5 ± 1.0 logMAR preoperatively and 0.72 ± 0.68 logMAR at 1 month (p = 0.000). Postoperative complications included cataract (14.6%), rise in intraocular pressure (13.2%), vitreous hemorrhage (4.7%), hypotony (3.2%), retinal detachment (2.8%), epiretinal membrane (2.8%), and worsening of inflammation (0.9%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MIVS is safe and may have a therapeutic role in uveitis.
