Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Retina

Background:

  • Phacoemulsification surgery can lead to complications requiring further intervention.
  • Aphakia presents unique challenges for intraocular procedures.
  • Effective visualization techniques are crucial for successful vitrectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy and safety of the air bubble technique for vitrectomy in aphakic eyes.
  • To evaluate the air bubble technique in managing specific surgical complications.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective interventional case series involving 53 eyes.
  • Vitrectomy performed using the air bubble technique in the anterior chamber.
  • Included patients undergoing phacovitrectomy, vitrectomy for aphakia, and unplanned vitrectomy for surgical complications.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a high surgical success rate of 94.3% (50 out of 53 eyes).
  • Demonstrated a significant improvement in mean LogMAR visual acuity from 1.29 to 0.56 (P < 0.001).
  • Required conversion to BIOM viewing system only in retinal detachment cases.

Conclusions:

  • The air bubble technique is an effective and economical visualization method for vitrectomy in aphakia.
  • This technique is suitable for the immediate management of phacoemulsification surgery complications.
  • The study supports the air bubble technique as a valuable tool in ophthalmic surgery.
