Abstract

To describe a novel technique of lens disassembly in posteriorly dislocated crystalline lens removal. A microinterventional microfilament loop device was introduced through the sclerotomy created for the fragmatome to cleave the lens into smaller, manageable pieces. Five cases were performed with this technique with improved visual acuity and no complications. The use of microinterventional nucleus disassembly during pars plana vitrectomy for retained lens material is a novel approach with potential advantages including decreased operating time and reduced complications secondary to excessive production of ultrasound energy.
