Sutureless and Equipment-Free Technique for Contact Lens Viewing System During Vitreoretinal Surgery
1Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Rajavithi Hospital, Rangsit University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Purpose:
To report a sutureless and equipment-free technique for contact lens wide-angle viewing system during vitreoretinal surgery.
Methods:
A step-by-step procedure and a surgical video using this technique were proposed.
Results:
This technique needs only three-finger control of contact lens either by the left hand (for the right-handed surgeon) or right hand (for the left-handed surgeon). The contact lens is not fixed to the environment (lid speculums, cannulas, corneoscleral limbus); therefore, it allows the surgeon to move and tilt the contact lens freely while keeping a clear view of the retina.
Conclusion:
The sutureless and equipment-free technique for contact lens viewing system during vitreoretinal surgery has been tried and tested, and it is practical and effective in the real world.
