title: A technique for treating positive vitreous pressure during intraocular lens implantation in intracapsular surgery.
abstract: Positive vitreous pressure during intraocular lens implantation is treated by early recognition and instillation of an air bubble to deepen the anterior chamber, and subsequently to prevent contact between the intraocular lens and the corneal endothelium. A technique is presented which has proven successful in 20 cases.
