Pars plana vitrectomy for vitreous hemorrhage and retinal vein occlusion. 1983

A Yeshaya, and G Treister

We studied 16 cases of retinal vein occlusion and vitreous hemorrhage treated by pars plana vitrectomy. The visual acuity in all nine eyes suffering from branch vein occlusion was improved postoperatively, reaching an acuity of 6/6 to 6/12 in 33% of the patients. In the seven eyes suffering from central vein occlusion, however, the postoperative visual acuity results were poor. The incidence of postoperative complications was higher also in the central vein occlusion group.

D014792	Visual Acuity	Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.	Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities

D014822	Vitreous Body	The transparent, semigelatinous substance that fills the cavity behind the CRYSTALLINE LENS of the EYE and in front of the RETINA. It is contained in a thin hyaloid membrane and forms about four fifths of the optic globe.
