COMPARISON OF INTRAOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS OF PHACOEMULSIFICATION BETWEEN SEQUENTIAL AND COMBINED PROCEDURES OF PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY AND CATARACT SURGERY

Abstract

Phacoemulsification in a vitrectomized eye is associated with a higher rate of posterior capsule rupture than the one in combined vitrectomy. These results may have been caused by hard nucleus cataract in a vitrectomized eye.
