Anti-VEGF (34%), experienced visus before treatment with bad category (96%), visus 1 month after surgery is mostly still in bad category (84%), and subjective visus quality of patients after 1 month of surgery (42%). Conclusion : Most age 46-65 years, female gender, type 2 diabetes melitus, longduration of diabetes <5 years, have a history of hypertension, with degree of PDR + PV, bilateral involved eyes, vitrectomy + endolaser + inj. Anti-VEGF, poor visus beforesurgery, visus after vitrectomy surgery is poor but there is improvement in visus by 38%, and the patient's subjective quality of visus after surgery improved.]]>
