Safe and effective visualisation of vitreous in the anterior chamber with intracameral fluorescein to facilitate its complete removal

Abstract

anterior capsulorhexis contemplating ciliary sulcus fixation of IOL ( Figure 2b) and abandoning hydroprocedures. Use of the principles of close chamber technique 1 prevented vitreous loss and posterior segment complications. We routinely use single piece AcrySof IOL for sulcus fixation. In our experience, symmetry of the placement of this IOL is critical and not the bulk of the haptic. At the root of the iris the bulk and the square edge of the single piece haptic will not produce excessive irritation, as it is not mobile.In summary, this case emphasizes the importance of 'sinking cortex' sign in predicting PPCD in traumatic white mature cataracts for a suitable surgical strategy to achieve satisfactory technical and visual outcomes.

The visualisation of vitreous using surface modified poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles

“…Moreover, the use of triamcinolone within the anterior chamber predisposes the eye to undesired and uncontrolled intraocular delivery of a steroid. As such, there is a risk of elevated post-operative intraocular pressure and steroid-induced glaucoma, even though removal of the agent is attempted at the time of surgery 7 8…”
