Injections prior to diabetic vitrectomies are given only in advanced cases wherein one’s retina has higher chances to bleed. Injections are given in these cases to reduce the risk of severe bleeding during surgery. However one must be cautious as the surgery has to be planned within 5 days from the date of injection. Sometimes one might prefer giving injection during the surgery.
