Effect of Systemic Oxygen on Corneal Epithelial Wound Healing in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Pars Plana Vitrectomy

32 participantsStarted 2013-10

Plain-language summary

1. To compare the corneal epithelial defect healing time between diabetic patients receiving and not receiving supplementary oxygen after vitrectomy. 2. To determine whether factors such as age, duration of diabetes, duration of surgery and level of glycemic control have any influence on corneal epithelial wound healing time in diabetic patients receiving and not receiving supplementary oxygen post-vitrectomy.
