title: [Successful phacoemulsification in vitrectomized eyes: technical considerations].
abstract: Cataract surgery after pars plana vitrectomy significantly improves visual acuity in 85% of cases, limited by retinal comorbidity and surgical complications. However, despite recent advances, this surgery remains a special challenge. Indeed, the surgeon must be aware of its many pitfalls and often adapt his surgical technique to avoid the 10% rate of intraoperative complications reported in the literature - ten times higher than for the non-vitrectomized eye. During the postoperative period, the most common complication is posterior capsule opacification, which may require early laser capsulotomy.
