Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a clinical syndrome associated with proliferation of cells in the vitreous cavity and on the retinal surface leading to tractional forces on the retina. PVR is the most common cause of re-detachment after retinal detachment surgery and remains a difficult disease to manage and treat. The pathophysiology of PVR formation is complex and remains incompletely understood. Clinically, PVR can be classified according to severity, location, and extent. Current management of PVR is largely surgical including vitrectomy, membrane peeling, scleral buckling, and intraocular tamponade. While there are agents currently under investigation, there remains limited medical adjuvants in PVR treatment and prevention.
