Visual acuity outcomes following vitreous loss in glaucoma and diabetic patients

Effect and outcomes of posterior capsule rupture in a district general hospital setting

“…However, posterior capsule (PC) rupture during phacoemulsification cataract surgery remains an important complication because it may lead to poor visual outcome. 1,2 Vitreous loss is associated with various complications including cystoid macular edema, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and infective endophthalmitis. This study aimed to assess how patients from a district general hospital population were affected on a short-term basis after PC rupture during phacoemulsification.…”

Vitreous loss during phacoemulsification in glaucoma patients: Long-term intraocular pressure control

“…There has been significant improvement in microsurgical skills, and a careful approach reduces the frequency of complications and gives better visual outcomes. 13 Perhaps phacoemulsification complicated by vitreous loss leads to similar kinds of stress on the glaucomatous eye. As it would not be ethical to conduct a prospective trial to study the effects of vitreous loss, a careful retrospective analysis is perhaps the best way to analyze this subject.…”

Outcome of phacoemulsification following corneal and lens laceration in cats and dogs (2000–2010)

“…15,16 Addressing vitreal loss by automated vitrectomy improves the outcome of affected human patients. 17 Management of traumatic vitreous loss in our canine patients consisted of automated vitrectomy; IOL implantation was performed if possible.…”
