[Capsulectomy via the pars plana--one of the possible definitive treatments for opacification of the posterior capsule] ].
The author demonstrates on a group of 27 eyes a possible definite solution of a serious complication of successful operation of cataract, i.e. secondary cataract. The latter reduces due to its frequent incidence markedly the visual acuity. The approach with a vitrectome via the pars plana is a simple and permanent solution which beyond doubt has advantages as compared with YAG capsulotomy and polishing of the posterior capsule. The method is effective, cheap and the incidence of complications is minimal. Fluoroangiographic findings confirm its safety.
