    Abstract:

    AIM: To study the clinical features of vitreous amyloidosis and the effect of vitrectomy for it. METHODS: We treated 6 eyes (4 Patients) with vitreous amyloidosis from 2008 to 2009, and followed up for 18-30 months after vitrectomy. RESULTS: The visual acuity ranged from counting fingers to 3/50 before surgery and 15/50-40/50 after vitrectomy. No severe complication was observed. CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy is an effective and safe treatment for eyes with vitreous amyloidosis. A long period of follow-up after surgery should be performed.
