SCIENTIFIC POSTER_Roslyn Manrique Lipa Advantages: To describe the clinical, biometrical and refractive results in combined phaco-vitrectomy with 23G. Methods: 24 patients were included in this retrospective case series study. We recorded demographical and ophthalmological data which included: ophthalmic exploration before and after surgery, ocular biometric data, surgical technique, spherical equivalence before and after surgery and...

IOL Positions Comparison Phaco vs PhacoVitrectomy
Purpose: Myopic shift is common after phacovitrectomy. One of the possible reasons is anterior displacement of the intraocular lens. This study evaluates the position of the intraocular lens after phacovitrectomy and compares the results with eyes that received phaco only. Methods: Medical records of patients who received phacovitrectomy in one eye and phaco alone in the fellow eye were analyzed. Patients with significant discrepancy in...

Media not available due to technical recording problems. EVRS is very sorry for the inconvenience. I carry out all the steps of phacoemulsification first then proceed to pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Surgical steps of my combined phacoemulsification PPV technique involve: 1. Clear corneal temporal incisions, 2. Capsulorrhexis, 3. Phacoemulsification, 4. Irrigation/ aspiration, 5. In bag IOL implantation, 6. A single 10/0 nylon...

Kim, Jung-Yeul Purpose: To evaluate the postoperative frequency and severity of posterior synechia after combined pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification, and intraocular lens implantation in different groups using long-acting and short-acting mydriatics. Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Participants: A total of 69 eyes in 69 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and cataracts. Methods: All patients underwent...
