PURPOSE: To demonstrate whether pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) changes the progression of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by assessing longitudinal changes in drusen volume over follow-up.
METHODS: Dry AMD patients who had undergone unilateral PPV for symptomatic vitreomacular disorders were evaluated for the progression of disease by spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) features including drusen volume, development of geographic atrophy, or choroidal neovascularization during follow-up. Drusen volume was manually calculated using an image processing software (ImageJ, NIH) on raster SD-OCT scans. Mean change in drusen volume of surgery eyes was compared with values of the fellow eyes of the same subjects (control group).
RESULTS: Among 183 eyes with both vitreoretinal disorder and dry AMD, 48 eyes of 24 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included. The mean drusen volume change during a mean of 25.49 ± 23.35 months of follow-up (range: 6.00-86.87 months) was 4.236.899 ± 20.488.913 μm3 in the study eye and 7.796.357 ± 34.798.519 μm3 in the fellow eye (p = 0.297). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) significantly increased from 0.40 ± 0.18 logMAR (≈ 20/50 Snellen equivalent) to 0.32 ± 0.31 (≈ 20/41 Snellen equivalent) after surgery (p = 0.012) in the study group while BCVA remained stable in the control group (0.19 ± 0.34 logMAR [≈ 20/30 Snellen equivalent] at baseline and 0.20 ± 0.31 logMAR [≈ 20/31 Snellen equivalent], p = 0.432). Choroidal neovascularization developed in 1 vitrectomized eye (4.54%) and in 1 eye (4.54%) from the control group during follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy did not seem to worsen dry AMD progression; even more visual acuity may improve despite a slight increase in drusen volume following surgery.
