Abstract
Background and objective: Lens feathering due to intraocular gas may cause significant challenges with intraoperative visualization during posterior segment surgery. Herein, we describe an intraoperative technique for improving posterior segment visualization impacted by lens feathering.
Methods: New technique to improve visualization in vitrectomy from gas-induced cataract.
Results: The light pipe is used to gently massage posterior subcapsular lens vacuoles to improve the surgical view intraoperatively.
Conclusion: We report an effective and efficient technique to improve lens feathering during vitreoretinal surgery without need for cataract extraction.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Retina and Vitreous focuses on the ophthalmic subspecialty of vitreoretinal disorders. The journal presents original articles on new approaches to diagnosis, outcomes of clinical trials, innovations in pharmacological therapy and surgical techniques, as well as basic science advances that impact clinical practice. Topical areas include, but are not limited to: -Imaging of the retina, choroid and vitreous -Innovations in optical coherence tomography (OCT) -Small-gauge vitrectomy, retinal detachment, chromovitrectomy -Electroretinography (ERG), microperimetry, other functional tests -Intraocular tumors -Retinal pharmacotherapy & drug delivery -Diabetic retinopathy & other vascular diseases -Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) & other macular entities
