Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of giant intraoperative corneal bulla formation in a patient with a history of recent phacoemulsification with clear corneal incision that was managed with a bandage contact lens intraoperatively.
Methods: Retrospective case report with anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
Results: A 77-year-old woman with a history of recent complicated cataract surgery with retained lens fragments underwent pars plana vitrectomy and scleral-fixated intraocular lens placement. During pars plana vitrectomy, a large corneal bulla formed at the site of the main corneal incision, confirmed with anterior segment optical coherence tomography. A bandage contact lens with viscoelastic was used to overcome visualization challenges and safely proceed with the surgery.
Conclusion: This is the first report of corneal bullae formation during pars plana vitrectomy that is confirmed by anterior segment optical coherence tomography and successfully managed with a bandage contact lens intraoperatively.
