What is the role of VR?
Louisa Wickham
Conventional Indications
– Non-clearing vitreous haemorrhage
• > 1 year
– Tractional retinal detachment (TRD)
• involving the macula
– Combined TRD and RRD
Theoretical Effects of Vitrectomy
What is the evidence for vitrectomy?
• Effects of surgery
– Improve media clarity
– Endolaser
– Reattach retina
• Effect course of disease
– Remove vitreous scaffold
• But..
– Reduce oxygenation by removing neovascular tufts importance of laser

Natural History
•
•
•
•
Biggest drop of acuity in the first year
At 2 years 35% had developed an RD
25% required vitrectomy
Trend to greater visual loss with increasing
activity of retinopathy
• TRD - slow rate of progression
– 14% extend to macula in 1 year
– 21% extend to macula at 2 years
Early Vitrectomy for severe PDR
Early Vitrectomy for severe PDR
• Inclusion
• Recruitment
– Extensive active NV or fibrovascular prolif
– BCVA 10/200 (3/60) or better
• Exclusion
–
–
–
–
Previous vitrectomy
Extensive rubeosis or rubeotic glaucoma
RD involving macula
Renal failure
Early Vitrectomy for severe PDR
• Vitrectomy technique
– Remove all vitreous opacities
– Release central traction
– Removal ERMs and segmentation residual
tissue
– NO scatter PRP
– (only allowed PRP post-op on case by case
basis)
– July 1979 – May 1983
– 370 eyes
• Reviewed 3,6,12,18,24,36,48 months
• Randomised to early vity (EV) or conventional Rx
• Conventional Rx (CV)
–
–
–
–
RD involving centre of macula
VA dropped by 3 or more lines or VA<10/100
Severe vit haem for > 6 months with VA<5/200
Drop of VA from 10/50 to 10/100 due to traction
EVS - Results
• After 4 years of follow up:
– Early intervention group had better VA
• 44% VA >10/20 in EV cf 28% CV
– Poor VA at baseline linked to poor VA at 4yr
– Prior PRP assoc with better VA at 4 yr
– But no laser given at time of surgery
– Incr severity of NV assoc with worse endpoint
in CV but this relationship neutralised with EV

Early Vitrectomy for Vitreous
Haemorhage
• Poorer outcome in Early gp if
– Mild NV
• More developed poor vision or NPL cf CV
• <40% required vitrectomy
• In Conventional treatment 80% eventually
required vitrectomy

Haemorhage
Early Vitrectomy for Vitreous
Haemorhage
Recommendations
Relevance to Current Practice
• Early vitrectomy if:
• Severe extensive neovascularisation despite
PRP
• Vitreous haemorrhage precluding PRP
• DRVS study completed 20 years ago
• Systemic control better
• Use of PRP/endolaser
– PRP at time of surgery not allowed
• Vitrectomy techniques have developed
– Safer
– Better instrumentation

Results
• Visual Outcomes
– 74.7% improved by at least 0.3 logMAR units
– 16.3% improved by less than 0.3 LMU
– 9% worse by at least 0.3 LMU
• Significantly better outcome if macula
attached pre-op
• 16 patients had acuity of <6/60 BEO at 6
months (41 pre-op)
Current Indications
• Vitreous Haemorrhage
– Pathogenesis
• Tearing neovascular tufts
• PVD
• Fibrovascular contraction
– Early
•
•
•
•
Current Indications
• Tractional detachment of Fovea
– Visual results disappointing
• Macular ischaemia
• Optic nerve ischaemia
Associated retinal detachment
Very dense or recurrent
Rubeosis
Macular oedema
Current Indications
• Extrafoveal TED
– TRD usually starts at fibrovascular membranes at the
arcades
– Not an absolute indication for surgery
• May progress slowly
• Occasionally resolve
– Surgery if
• Threaten fovea
• Progressing
• Recurrent haemorrhage

Current Indications
• Combined TRD and RRD
– Features
QuickTime™ and a
H.264 decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
• Retina more mobile
• Convex RD rather than concave
• Progresses rapidly
– Requires urgent intervention
– Difficult to manage
– Post operative reproliferation commmon
Macular Oedema
• Tractional
– Distortion of retinal surface
– Diagnosed on OCT
– Post operative recovery depends on ischaemia
Problems with vitrectomy
• Recurrent vitreous haemorrhage
• Anterior hyaloidal proliferation
• Diffuse
– Controversial as to benefit if no traction
– ? Increased oxygenation
• Fibrinoid syndrome
What is the future?
• Earlier intervention?
• Anti-VEGF and PDR
QuickTime™ and a
H.264 decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
– Associated with TRD
• Hyaluronidase (Vitrase)
– Reduction in vitreous haemorrhage density
– Not sufficient to aid completion of PRP
– ? Use in traction
