Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of anterior vitrectomy combined with primary implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens for the capsulorhexis following cataract extraction. METHODS: Anterior vitrectomy combined with primary implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens was performed on 76 cases with capsulorhexis from 1 089 cases of cataract extraction. The surgical technique, postoperative visual acuity and postoperative complication were analyzed. RESULTS: The proportion, of which the corrected visual acuity was 0.5 or better one week and six months postoperatively, was 86.8% and 93.4% respectively. CONCLUSION: Anterior vitrectomy combined with primary implantation of intraocular lens for posterior capsulorhexis following cataract extraction is safe and effective.
