New Vitrectomy for Dense 18 Month Old Diabetic Vitreous Hemorrhage - 25 Gauge

Steven M. Cohen, MD

65 Year Old woman with vision loss for almost 2 years. Her vision was light perception when she presented. Her fellow eye had mild proliferative diabetic retinopathy. This eye had a normal ultrasound (except for the vitreous hemorrhage). Her cataract was removed about 2 weeks prior to this surgery. Diabetic vitrectomies have slightly better outcomes if done subsequent to cataract surgery. This video shows the dense vitreous hemorrhage looks yellow white.
