Surgical management of cataract associated with chronic uveitis.
Eight eyes in five patients with cataracts associated with chronic uveitis were operated upon with instrumentation designed for vitreous surgery. A clear visual axis with improvement in visual acuity was achieved in all cases. There were no major operative complications. Vitrectomy instrumentation provides improvements over conventional techniques in the management of these difficult surgical cases.
