32 eyes with vitroretinal pathologies caused by branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) under went pars plana vitrectomy. Visual acuity was restored postoperatively in 28 of 32 eyes (87.5%). Visual acuity was restored in 19 of 19 eyes (100%) with vitreous opacity only, in 5 of 6 eyes (83.3%) with fibrous proliferation and in 4 of 7 eyes (57.1%) with retinal detachment. Regarding final visual acuity. 78.1% showed 0.1 or better, and 43.8% showed 0.5 or better Among the complications. surgically induced retinal detachment showed the worst prognosis.
