    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Retinal Diseases

    Background:

    • Pars plana lensectomy (PPL) is a surgical technique used in ophthalmology.
    • Indications for PPL can include various anterior and posterior segment pathologies.
    • Evaluating the safety and efficacy of PPL is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the outcomes of pars plana lensectomy (PPL) in a cohort of 36 eyes.
    • To assess the visual acuity and complications following PPL.
    • To determine the suitability of PPL as an alternative treatment for specific patient demographics.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 36 eyes undergoing pars plana lensectomy (PPL).
    • Data collection included follow-up duration, visual acuity (VA), and complication rates.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Average follow-up period was 9 months (range: 2-24 months).

    • Main Results:

    • Optical media clarity was achieved in all 36 eyes post-PPL.
    • Post-operative visual acuity (VA) ≥ 0.6 was recorded in 31 eyes (86%).
    • Two eyes (5.5%) experienced serious complications: retinal detachment (1) and neovascular glaucoma (1).

    Conclusions:

    • Pars plana lensectomy (PPL) is effective in achieving optical clarity and good visual acuity.
    • PPL presents minimal anterior segment risks and avoids secondary cataract issues.
    • PPL is a safe and effective alternative for patients up to age 30-35, especially with an experienced surgeon.
