Initial and final visual acuities

Initial visual acuity (%) Final visual acuity (%)
Visual acuity PPV* (n=15) PRP† (n=19) RV (n=6) PPV (n=15) PRP (n=19) RV (n=6)
LP = light perception; CF = counting fingers; PPV = eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy; PRP = eyes treated with panretinal photocoagulation (two patients were lost to follow up); RV = eyes presented with only active periphlebitis.
*Three eyes had active periphlebitis.
†13 eyes had active periphblebitis, 9 eyes had vitreous haemorrhage, 2 eyes had chorioretinal scars, and one eye had multifocal choroiditis and serous retinal detachment.
