Abstract

High speed and small gauge vitrectomy systems have made surgical intervention in complications of diabetic retinopathy (DR) safer.

This review discusses the indications for surgical intervention in DR. The role of anti-VEGF compounds is discussed as surgical adjuvants with an emphasis on timing of treatment before surgery.
