ABSTRACT
We performed standard pars plana vitrectomies in 17 eyes with uveitis which were complicated with vitreous opacities. Postoperatively, visual acuity was improved in 11 eyes(64.7%),maintained in4 eyes(23.5%) and decreased in 2 eyes (11.8%). Four weeks after vitrectomy, inflammatory cells were rarely noticed in the anterior vitreous of all eyes. We suggest that early surgical approach is of value for visual improvement in the management of uvitis eyes with vitreous opacity.
