Variables assessed include age, gender, indication of surgery, duration since surgery, preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), postoperative BCVA, fellow eye BCVA, medical history and lens status.Results: The factors significantly affecting the total score were postoperative visual acuity and fellow eye VA. Upon analyzing the effect of the indication on total score, a significant difference was found with the highest being for those who had dropped lens as the indication for surgery and the lowest was for those with tractional retinal detachment (TRDs) and inflammatory indications. Subscale analysis and visual acuity improvement were also varying between indications.Conclusion: VRQOL significantly improves after PPV, the improvement is variable with different indications, being the greatest for those with dropped lens and the least for TRDs and endophthalmitis, with postoperative VA being the most important factor affecting the VRQOL score.Keywords: pars plana vitrectomy, quality of life, vision, Jordan, ophthalmologyAbu-Ameerh MAlni'mat AAlShawabkeh MAlRyalat SADove Medical Pressarticlepars plana vitrectomyquality of lifevisionjordanophthalmologyOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1831-1838 (2021)
