Abstract Details

Purpose:

To determine whether core vitrectomy can induce lens-iris diaphragm retropulsion syndrome in patients with cataract and angle closure glaucoma

Setting:

: Clinic for eye diseases, clinical center of serbia, Belgrade, Serbia

Methods:

Consecutive cataract patients who had combined cataract surgery and 25 gauge core vitrectomy were assessed. The endpoint was induced lens-iris diaphragm retropulsion syndrome

Results:

The videos showed that during the surgery the anterior chamber became extremely deep and the pupil was excessively dilated

Conclusions:

The pars plana core vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery can induce a lens-iris diaphragm retropulsion syndrome, and this appeared to be helpful in cases of cataract patients with shallow anerior chambers and narrow pupils, consistent with angle closure glaucoma FINANCIAL INTEREST: NONE
