Abstract
The sixth chapter is very important because it explains in detail the treatment planning for diabetic retinopathy. We advise to avoid an immediate vitrectomy and recommend instead a delayed vitrectomy. We urge also to avoid a combined phaco/vitrectomy and recommend instead first a phacoemulsification and later a vitrectomy (sequential phaco-vitrectomy).
