    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Nanophthalmos is a rare condition associated with sight-threatening complications.
    • Nanophthalmic eyes exhibit high rates of intraoperative and postoperative issues, such as uveal effusion and retinal detachment.

    Observation:

    • A case of nanophthalmos requiring cataract extraction is detailed.
    • The surgical approach involved a posterior cataract extraction combined with pars plana vitrectomy and a gas procedure.

    Findings:

    • This combined posterior approach for cataract extraction in nanophthalmic eyes is a novel technique.
    • The procedure was performed to mitigate risks of uveal effusion and retinal detachment.

    Implications:

    • This surgical method offers a potential prophylactic strategy for managing nanophthalmic eyes.
