Abstract

Combined 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy and clear corneal phacoemulsification in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy was safe and effective. It may have not only the known advantages of conventional combined surgery but also additionally those such as faster visual rehabilitation and less conjunctival fibrosis.
