Abstract

AIM:To analyze and discuss the clinical effects of intravitreal ranibizumab for severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

The patients in two groups underwent preoperative ultrasound examination, ultrasound biomicroscopy, fundus photography, tonometry examination and some other ophthalmologic examination. All patients underwent vitrectomy. On this basis, patients in the observation group accepted injection of ranibizumab. The control group only accepted vitrectomy. RESULTS:The effective rate of observation group was 80.0%, that of the control group was 61.7%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(PP>0.05). LogMAR BCVA of the two groups were different compared with those before the treatment and the difference of observation group was more significant(P PCONCLUSION:The effect of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy is significant, worthy of promotion.
