Excerpt

The introduction of phacoemulsification in the 1990s made combined cataract surgery and vitrectomy a practical procedure. Small and secure corneal incisions, increased anterior chamber stability, and implantation of the intraocular lens (IOL) in a stable capsular bag improved the safety and visual outcomes of phacovitrectomy [1]. Refinements in vitrectomy instrumentation and techniques, including sutureless pars plana incisions, have further improved the outcomes of this combined procedure [2]. …
