Clear Corneal Phacovitrectomy with Posterior Capsulorhexis and IOL Implantation in Management of Selective Vitreoretinal Cases

Figure 2

Intraoperative photographs showing the steps of CCPV in the patient with IOFB and traumatic cataract. (a) Completion of phacoemulsification: aspiration and irrigation of the lens material. (b) After vitrectomy, the IOFB was grasped with gripping forceps introduced through the clear corneal tunnel incision. (c) The IOFB was left on the posterior capsule of the lens for the time required to widen the clear corneal tunnel incision. The anterior chamber was filled with a cohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical device. Note the well-defined contour of the posterior capsulorhexis (arrowheads). (d) IOFB removal through the clear corneal tunnel incision of adequate width.
