Abstract

We performed pars plana vitrectomy combined with anterior capsule-sparing lensectomy on forty three eyes WJth coexisting cataract and vitreoretinal disease and followed up more than 6 months. Preoperative vitreoretinal diseases consisted of nondiabetic vitreous hemorrhage (thirteen eyes), retained metallic intraocular foreign bodies (nine eyes), posterior uveitis (nine eyes), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (seven eyes) and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (five eyes) . Thirty six eyes (84%) revealed the visual acuity of 0.1 or less before operation. Thirty eight eyes (88%) could get a better visual acuity after operation than before operation. Posterior chamber intraocular lenses were implanted to thirty eight eyes. The severity of anterior capsular opacity showed a statistically significant difference between the eyes with injection of intraocular gas or silicone oil and them without injection of that (p=0.004). In this study, we can find that the technique of pars plana vitrectomy combined with anterior capsule-sparing lensectomy would be recommendable and the anterior capsular opacity may have relation with intraocular gas or silicone oil.
