BRE eyes presenting with light-perception VA were more likely to undergo initial PPV; yet many eyes in this study required PPV during treatment. Visual outcomes are often poor in BRE despite intensive management. There was greater VA loss from pre-endophthalmitis VA levels at 6 months in eyes undergoing PPV after initial treatment. Prospective studies are needed to assess the optimal role of PPV in patients with BRE.
