Abstract EN
Purpose.
To evaluate efficacy and safety of primary vitrectorhexis for posterior capsulotomy in highly myopic patients undergoing refractive lens exchange.
Methods.
The study is a prospective nonrandomized interventional study.
The study comprised 60 eyes of 60 myopic patients.
All patients underwent refractive lens exchange (RLE) and foldable IOL implantation combined with primary posterior capsulotomy.
We used a 23-gauge vitrectomy probe for the creation of the posterior capsule opening.
We followed the patients for one year.
Results.
During surgery, the IOLs remained well centered in the capsular bag after creation of the capsulotomy.
Postoperatively, we did not report any complications related to lens centration or changes in the posterior capsulotomy size.
No eye required YAG laser posterior capsulotomy and no cases of retinal detachment (RD) occurred during the follow-up period.
Conclusion.
Primary posterior vitrectorhexis during RLE is an efficient method in preventing the occurrence of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) and the need for YAG laser posterior capsulotomy with its possible complications.
