RISK FACTORS, ANATOMICAL, AND VISUAL OUTCOMES OF INJURED EYES WITH PROLIFERATIVE VITREORETINOPATHY

Abstract

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy occurs frequently in injured eyes and is associated with poor outcomes. Its onset depends on interval of injury and vitrectomy, wound location, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment. Early vitrectomy (before 2 weeks) and aggressive therapy should be considered for specific high-risk cases.
