    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: To report visual results of vitrectomy in Terson syndrome MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 11 patients, 15 eyes underwent vitreous surgery for Terson syndrome. The mean follow up was 18.3 months. RESULTS: An incomplete posterior vitreous separation was noted in 10 eyes (66.7%). An epiretinal membrane was present in 4 eyes (26.7%), and in 3 eyes, a retinal fold along the arcade was noticed. Significant visual improvement occurred in all eyes; visual acuity of 20/40 or better was achieved in 14 eyes (93.3%). Only 3 eyes developed lens opacity after surgery. CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy in Terson syndrome provides excellent visual recovery. The complication rate, including the development of cataract, is low.
