The use of viscoelastics during pars plana vitrectomy in eyes with an anterior chamber intraocular lens.
Pars plana vitrectomy in eyes with an anterior chamber intraocular lens poses several challenges. This becomes more obvious during fluid-air exchange. The use of viscoelastics during the surgery to overcome these problems is described. This technique allows better visibility intraoperatively, provides a stable anterior chamber, and maintains corneal clarity.
