Study Design: Interventional case series. Place and Duration of Study: Al-Ibrahim eye Hospital Karachi from January 2019 to December 2019. Methods: Total 30 eyes of 30 patients between ages of 25 to 65 years, who had retinal detachment surgery with silicone oil used as internal tamponade and later on developed cataract were re-operated once confirming that retinal was attached. The time interval between two surgeries was 8 to 10 months. Phacoemulsification with IOL implantationwas done followed by silicone oil removal by 23-gauge pars plana method. Postoperative follow-ups were done at day 1, 1 month and at 6 months to record visual acuity and retinal status. Results: Best corrected Visual acuity was recorded pre and post-operatively using Snellen chart. Preoperatively 12 patients had visual acuity of 6/60, 12 with...

Study Design: A quasi-experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Malir, Karachi, from March to November 2018. Methodology: Patients between 40-70 years of age, irrespective of gender with non-resolving dense diabetic vitreous haemorrhage were divided into two groups. Group A received injection bevacizumab 7 days before PPV surgery. Group B received no preoperative injection. Log Mar chart was used for documenting postoperative vision. All patients completed their 6 months follow-up. SPSS was used to analyse the data. Results: Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was documented as improved, same, or worse. In Group A, 21 (70%) patients had improved VA; whereas, in Group B, 17 (56.6%) patients showed improved visual acuity postoperatively. Patients were examined at four weeks, three months, and six months, respectively for recurrent vitreous haemorrhage. In Group A, 25 (83.3%) patients had no vitreous haemorrhage up to six months, whereas, in Group B, 13 (43.3%) patients had no vitreous haemorrhage up to six months with p-value of 0.021. Conclusion: Anti VEGF injection bevacizumab before PPV in patients with non-resolving diabetic vitreous haemorrhage is good to get better results in terms of BCVA, as well as reduce the incidence of recurrent vitreous haemorrhage.
