Methods: Eighty-five eyes of 85 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy underwent primary standard three-port vitrectomy with 20-gauge instruments and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation for vitreous hemorrhage from 2008 to 2011. The main outcome measures were visual outcomes and surgical complications. Results: Forty patients were male and 45 were female. Their age ranged from 40 to 77 years with a mean of 59.6 years. The mean follow-up was 13 months, with a range of 6–48 months. The preoperative logMAR visual acuity changed from 2.62 ± 0.6 to 0.8 ± 0.7 postoperatively. Postoperatively, visual acuity improved in 79 eyes (92.9%), and did not change in six eyes (7.1%). Intraoperative complications were transient corneal edema (five eyes) and posterior capsular rupture (one eye). Postoperative complications consisted of transient intraocular pressure elevation (25 eyes), corneal epithelial defects (six eyes), anterior chamber reaction (four eyes), hyphema (two eyes), posterior synechiae (four eyes), vitreous hemorrhage (23 eyes), retinal tears (five eyes), retinal detachment (one eye), and neovascular glaucoma (one eye). Conclusion: Our study suggests that the combined operation of pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification, and intraocular lens implantation is safe and effective for patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. We believe that the visual outcome and complications depended primarily on underlying posterior segment pathology and were not related to the combined procedure technique.
