Today, cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgery among eye diseases and extremely successful results are obtained with the seamless phaco technique. Patient satisfaction is at the highest level with both phaco and femtosecond phaco techniques.
However, some undesirable complications may occur, although rare, during or after the surgery. Cataract, which must be completely removed during surgery, may fall into the back fluid of the eye, called vitreous, due to some difficulties. Or the intraocular lens placed in the eye during surgery may fall into the back of the eye (into the vitreous fluid). As I mentioned above, these rare complications may occur more frequently in some eyes.
The eye has been hit before, has undergone surgery (eye pressure or vitrectomy), the pupil is not dilated sufficiently. , sunken eyes, and those with some connective tissue diseases are some of these conditions. It should not be forgotten that the surgeon's experience is also an important factor. It is one of the determining factors in preventing this complication from occurring, or in the most appropriate intervention if it occurs.
In case cataract pieces or intraocular lens fall into the vitreous, the treatment is to remove the fallen piece with vitrectomy surgery and replace it with the appropriate intraocular lens.
Extremely satisfactory results are obtained with this technique.
