Brief Answer:
Vitrectomy is a good option

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for the question . The haemorrhage has occurred due to diabetes and vitrectomy is a good option . But ultimately it is the retina and retina surgeries dont have any hundred percent guarantee as you dont know how retina will behave . But if the surgery is not done that could also be detrimental to the vision . Therefore in such cases vitrectomy is your best bet . Hope it helps . Regards
