Purpose To assess the treatment benefit of eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) in vitrectomized eyes for tractional complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods In a retrospective multicentre observational study in India, the clinical outcomes of eyes with center-involving DME in vitrectomized eyes for tractional complications of PDR in people with type 2 diabetes with at least 12 months follow-up data were assessed. The DME status and visual acuity outcomes were compared between those who received treatment versus those observed. Results In the 10-year study period, 45 eyes of 44 patients from 5 tertiary centers in India met the inclusion criteria. Center-involving DME was documented after a mean of 7 +/- 7 months following pars plan vitrectomy (PPV) for tractional complications of PDR. More than half of the (n = 25) eyes were immediately treated for DME, and treatment was deferred for the rest. At one year, there was a statistically significant reduction in mean central subfield thickness in treated (467.9 +/- 124.8 mu m to 367.8 +/- 143.7 mu m; p < 0.001) as well as observed (405.2 +/- 132.6 mu m to 325.6 +/- 149 mu m; p < 0.001) eyes, and the change was comparable (p = 0.574). The change in vision was also comparable (0.12 +/- 0.31 and 0.22 +/- 0.54 Log MAR in the treated and observed group, respectively; p = 0.443). Conclusion Treatment for pre-existing or new-onset DME after PPV for tractional complications of PDR may be deferred for up to one year because the DME may resolve spontaneously with time.
