Abstract
Background and Objective: To report the 3-year outcomes for endolaserless vitrectomy with intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) monotherapy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)-related vitreous hemorrhage (VH). Materials and Method: Eyes underwent endolaserless vitrectomy and received one preoperative and intraoperative IAI followed by randomization to a q8week or q16week IAI group. Additional IAI was administered as needed. Results: 31/40 eyes were randomized (14 q8week eyes, 17 q16week eyes). Through 152 weeks, q8week and q16week eyes received 18.6 and 12.1 IAI, respectively. Q8week eyes observed a 34 letter visual acuity (VA) increase (P = 0.003) compared to a 27 letter increase in the q16week group (P = 0.013). Conclusions: Endolaserless vitrectomy with aflibercept monotherapy for PDR-related VH provides significant long-term visual gains. Frequent IAI is required for fewer proliferative consequences.
