    Author: Blankenship GW.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1986 Jan; 93(1):39-44. PubMed ID: 2419815.
    Abstract:
    Vitreous cavity hemorrhage is a frequent problem following diabetic vitrectomy, and can be managed by either vitreous cavity lavage or outpatient fluid-air exchange procedures. Visual acuities of 6/60 or better and clear vitreous cavities were obtained in 18% of aphakic lavage cases, 47% of lavage cases combined with lens removal, 47% of phakic lavage cases, one of three aphakic exchange cases, and 68% of phakic exchange cases. Iris neovascularization was a major complication of the aphakic eyes occurring in 76% of aphakic lavage cases, 67% of lavage cases combined with lens removal, 14% of phakic lavage cases, all three of the aphakic exchange cases, but in only 25% of phakic exchange cases.
