Abstract:
Bimanual vitrectomy has become the method of choice for performing closed vitrectomy. In certain situations, visualization is improved by using indirect ophthalmoscopy to see the vitrectomy instrument. A simple method using a +20.00-diopter condensing lens is described as a means of practicing the initially difficult unimanual technique, which requires working in an inverted operative field.
