Abstract

Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text.A meta-analysis of vitrectomy for diabetic macular edema found no significant difference in visual outcome compared with laser or observation. Retinal thickness was better than with laser/observation at 6 months, but this benefit had reversed by 12 months. Intraoperative retinal breaks occurred in 7.1%, and postoperative retinal detachment in 1.2%.
