Purpose:
To introduce a new surgical technique that can keep constant intraocular pressure of the eyeball during peeling epiretinal membrane under silicone oil status.
Methods:
A viscoelastic agent was injected into the air pump of the constellation system via the metal tip. This procedure offers a buffer zone to keep constant pressure within the eyeball without disturbing the surgical field by an air bubble.
Results:
Three cases were performed efficiently (15 ± 5 minutes) under this technique with improvement in anatomical feature and visual function after the surgery.
Conclusion:
Using this simple yet important technique can provide us the constant intraocular pressure without hypotony and avoid the traditional complicated procedures.
