Overview

The author demonstrates on a group of 27 eyes a possible definite solution ofa serious complication of successful operation of cataract, i.e. secondary cataract.The latter reduces due to its frequent incidence markedly the visual acuity. Theapproach with a vitrectome via the pars plana is a simple and permanent solutionwhich beyond doubt has advantages as compared with YAG capsulotomy andpolishing of the posterior capsule. Themethodis effective, cheapandthe incidenceof complications is minimal. Fluoroangiographic findings confirm its safety.

Key words:
secondary cataract, posterior capsular opacification, prevention ofsecondary cataract
