Vacuum-assisted levitation of posteriorly dislocated cataract lens

Abstract

Abstract We describe a technique that uses 23 G pars plana vitrectomy without using fragmatome or perfluorocarbon liquid to manage a posteriorly dislocated cataract lens. The vacuum of the vitrector is used to levitate the lens up to the iris plane and then it is delivered using a wire-Vectis through a sclerocorneal tunnel. Subsequently, scleral fixation of an intraocular lens is performed.
