    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Cataract Surgery

    Background:

    • Retropupillary membranes can complicate cataract surgery.
    • Thick or semi-solid membranes pose significant removal challenges.
    • Existing instruments may struggle with inflexible ocular tissues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a wide-angle cutter vitrophage.
    • To assess its performance in removing thick retropupillary membranes.
    • To determine its utility in expediting cataract removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a wide-angle cutter vitrophage.
    • Engaged and cut inflexible membrane material.
    • Performed pars plana removal of cataracts.
