AB  - Retrospective review of 13 eyes that had undergone pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) 
      for vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and had a 
      postoperative follow-up period >/=9mo in order to evaluate whether it is necessary 
      to treat VMT in RP by vitrectomy. The 13 RP eyes suffering from VMT were 
      evaluated by means of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior and posterior 
      binocular examination, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 
      before and after operation. We detected that although vitrectomy could improve 
      the macular morphology in some RP patients with VMT, visual outcomes might be 
      limited and unpredicted most likely because of the long-standing retinal 
      dysfunction, but the vitrectomy is necessary in order to remain or improve the 
      central vision in some cases.
