Dropped Lens Fragments Retrieval Using Endoscopy-Assisted Pars Plana Vitrectomy in Patients With Corneal Opacity
This study showed that performing E-PPV to extract dropped lens fragments through corneal opacity had similar final outcomes compared with S-PPV, regardless of the interval time to surgery after the dropped lens fragments. Removing dropped lens fragments using E-PPV before cornea opacity clearance provided outcomes similar to those of delayed cases. Further studies are needed on the psychological benefit in patients undergoing dropped lens removal sooner than others.
