Combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy is safe for presbyopic patients with vitreoretinal issues. This approach offers good outcomes for retinal detachment and macular holes, even without significant lens opacity.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retina Surgery
  • Vitreoretinal Diseases

Background:

  • Presbyopic patients often require vitreoretinal surgery.
  • Combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy addresses multiple ocular pathologies simultaneously.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes and complications of combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this combined procedure in presbyopic individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 90 presbyopic patients.
  • Procedures included treatment for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, macular holes, epiretinal membrane, diabetic retinopathy, and vitreous hemorrhage.
  • Data collected on surgical outcomes and postoperative complications.

Main Results:

  • High reattachment rates for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (up to 100%).
  • Successful macular hole closure rates (89.5% for stages 2-3, 83.3% for stage 4).
  • Significant visual acuity improvement (median logMAR from 1.00 to 0.48).
  • Common complications included posterior capsule opacification (51.1%) and fibrinous uveitis (13.3%).

Conclusions:

  • Combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy is a safe and effective option.
  • Suitable for phakic, presbyopic patients with various vitreoretinal conditions.
  • Beneficial even when significant lens opacity is absent.
