Abstract

Phacoemulsification combined with pars plana vitrectomy was performed on seventeen eyes with both cataract and vitreoretinal disease. Postoperative visual acuity improved in ten of seventeen cases. There was no serious perioperative complication. In those eyes with both cataract and vitreoretinal disease, the small incision used in phacoemulsification allows better control of the anterior chamber during vitrectomy. In addition, this procedure allows endocapsular fixation of the intraocular lens.
