Intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) versus IVB in combination with pars plana vitrectomy for vitreous hemorrhage secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy: a randomized clinical trial.

However, after 24 weeks of follow-up, the reduction in VH score and BCVA were similar between both treatment strategies.
