Predictors of vision-threatening proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the fellow eye after unilateral vitrectomy: a clinical and imaging-based study

Key Points

• Vision-threatening proliferative diabetic retinopathy can develop in the fellow eye after vitrectomy, indicating critical monitoring needs.
• Identification of specific predictors aids in understanding risk factors for developing complications.
• Clinical analysis alongside imaging was conducted to assess impacts on fellow eyes post-vitrectomy across various metrics.
• Highlighting the need for preventive strategies based on early predictors may reduce future vision loss.
