Combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy safely improved vision in eyes with complex cataract and vitreoretinal conditions. This single operation technique offers rapid visual rehabilitation and well-tolerated lens implants.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retina Surgery

Background:

  • Cataract and vitreoretinal diseases often require complex surgical intervention.
  • Combined procedures aim to address multiple ocular pathologies simultaneously.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy.
  • To assess visual outcomes and implant tolerance in patients with cataract and vitreoretinal disease.

Main Methods:

  • Eight eyes with cataract and vitreoretinal disease underwent combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy.
  • Posterior chamber lens implants were placed in the capsular bag in six eyes.
  • Follow-up averaged 8 months, with a range of 3 to 30 months.

Main Results:

  • Postoperative visual acuity improved in all cases, ranging from 20/15 to 6/200.
  • No perioperative complications were reported.
  • Posterior chamber lens implants were well tolerated.

Conclusions:

  • Combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy is a safe and effective procedure.
  • The technique allows for endocapsular lens fixation and rapid visual rehabilitation.
  • This approach offers a single-operation solution for complex ocular conditions.
