Purpose: To investigate long-term outcomes and their predictive factors in Chinese patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) after vitrectomy.
Study Design: Retrospective and observational.
Methods: PDR patients who underwent vitrectomy in a tertiary eye hospital from 2010 to 2020 were enrolled.

Aim: To investigate the change of diabetic macular edema (DME) post vitrectomy and its risk factors.
Methods: This retrospective study included 365 eyes of 330 patients who underwent vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) with gradable optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging from January 2018 to March 2022. The incidence of post vitrectomy DME (PV-DME) was defined as patients with a central retinal thickness (CRT) >300 µm by OCT among patients without preoperative DME.
Purpose: To investigate whether intravitreal antiviral injection (IAI) during vitrectomy reduces the postsurgical retinal detachment (RD) rate and improves the visual prognosis of patients with acute retinal necrosis (ARN).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included ARN patients treated at a tertiary hospital between January 2013 and December 2020. Patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) alone or combined with intraoperative IAI were classified in PPV-only group and PPV + IAI group, respectively.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes of conventional scleral buckling (CSB), modified scleral buckling (MSB), and scleral encircling (SE) in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and identify factors influencing the outcomes.
Methods: This comparative, retrospective cohort study assigned patients to CSB, MSB, and SE groups. The follow-up was 12 months, and the reattachment rate, complication rate, visual acuity, number of newly discovered tears during surgery, and changes in diopters were compared among the three surgeries.
