title: Fifty consecutive eyes with anterior segment disease treated by the pars plana approach.
abstract: Results of a pars plana approach using the Peyman vitrophage to treat various anterior segment diseases are presented in 48 patients (50 eyes). These included cases of ocular trauma, congenital cataracts, complications following unplanned and planned extracapsular cataract extractions and phacoemulsification, and dense secondary membranes. Visual acuity improved in 86%, remained unchanged in 10% and worsened in 4% of all eyes.
