Microincision cataract surgery in a vitrectomized eye
Accepted 30 October 2006.
Phacoemulsification after vitrectomy is associated with several intraoperative problems. We describe the use of bimanual microincision cataract surgery using an 18-gauge needle as the irrigating chopper combined with silicone oil removal in a vitrectomized eye. This technique may offer a safe alternative to standard phacoemulsification in such cases.
