Abstract
- We evaluated after-cataract, capsular opacification, following combined lens removal with phacoemulsification or pars plana lensectomy, pars plana vitrectomy and primary or secondary IOL implantation on 34 eyes followed up more than 3 years.For the lens removal 23 eyes had pars plana lensectomy ad 11 eyes phacoemulsification. Nd-YAG capsulotomy is needed on 8/34 eyes(25.5%). Nd-YAG capsulotomy was performed on 3/23 eyes(13%) of pars plana lensectomy and on 5/11 eyes(45.5%) of phacoemulsification. Nd-YAG capsulotomy was performed to 7/22 eyes(31.8%) of primary IOL implantation and 1/12 eyes(8.3%) of secondary IOL implantation. Most patients had systemic vascular disease such as diabetes or hypertension.In conclusion, combined pars plana lensectomy, pars plana vitrectomy and secondary IOL implantation was the least incidence of after-cataract and side effects, so this procedure was thought to be recommended for vitreoretinal surgery.
