Standard treatment for PDR without associated vitreous hemorrhage (VH), tractional retinal detachments (TRD), or combined tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (TRRD) involves panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and/or intravitreal anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) injections. Here, VEGFA is linked to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
