title: [Vitreus incarceration after using iris retractors].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Biomicroscopic and ophthalmoscopic evaluation of an aphakic patient treated for a retmal detachment with scleral surgery and iris retractors. To describe a complication of the use of iris retractors in retinal surgery in aphakic patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  On physical examination, a vitreus incarceration in the paracentesis performed for the iris retractors was observed. Nevertheless retinal application and good visual acuity was achieved. We conclude that the use of flexible iris retractors during scleral surgery in aphakic patients is not exempt from complications.
