The described surgical approach using HFG and AMT allowed a successful repair of corneal perforations with a diameter of 2 mm associated with significant loss of stroma. This method may be a good alternative to delay penetrating keratoplasty for treating corneal perforations, especially in acute cases in which graft rejection risk is high. eal

Based on our results, we believe that primary posterior capsulorhexis can be a routine procedure during cataract surgery and IOL implantation in adults, except in cases of positive pressure. The diameter of the posterior capsulorhexis should be smaller than the diameter of the IOL optic.

Conclusion-This work is a preliminary study concerning the use ofmitomycin for prevention of posterior capsular opacification. It has proved its effectiveness in rabbits but more in depth studies are still necessary before its application in humans.(Br _r

Conclusion-Loss of control of the posterior capsulorhexis has a low incidence but can lead to serious problems during surgery. A good knowledge of the technique is necessary to complete the procedure with a posterior capsulorhexis of the optimum size without vitreous loss. (Br J Ophthalmol 1997;81:195-198)
