Abstract:
Four patients with intraocular foreign bodies and traumatic cataracts underwent combined pars plana lensectomy, vitrectomy, and intraocular foreign body removal. During pars plana lensectomy, anterior lens capsule and zonules were left intact. At the end of surgery, a posterior chamber intraocular lens was placed in the sulcus in front of the anterior capsule through a 7-mm limbal incision. This procedure was performed in selected cases of combined anterior and posterior segment trauma. Combining pars plana lensectomy and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation with posteior segment procedures allows rapid visual rehabilitation and functional unaided vision. We therefore suggest that this technique is effective in treating selected patients with both cataract and vitreoretinal diseases.
