Dear Editor,

We would like to thank Dr Arjun Srirampur for
his interest in our work. Below please notice our
replies:

1. All of our diabetic patients were operated
upon due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy
(PDR) complications such as non-clearing vitreous
hemorrhage and traction retinal detachment but
there was no case of rhegmatogenous retinal

detachment; therefore no tamponade was used
during surgery.

2. None of our patients had uncontrolled IOP
during the short follow-up period (two weeks) after
surgery in both groups. The corneal epithelial
defect (CED) was improved in all eyes except
three; and in those three eyes, lateral tarsorrhaphy
and application of a lubricant ointment resulted
in healing of the CED less than one month after
surgery.
