Lens Yaralanmalarının Tedavisinde Pars Plana Vitrektomi

Lens injury due to traumas may present as loss of capsule integrity, cataract, lens subluxation, or lens luxation. In addition, lens subluxation\udand lens luxation may occur in pseudophakic patients due to trauma. Clear corneal, scleral or sclero-corneal phacoemulsification surgery,\udpars plana vitrectomy, pars plana vitrectomy with phaco-fragmentation, or pars plana vitrectomy with removal through corneal incision\udtechniques are used in the treatment of lens injury due to traumas. Intraocular lens can be implanted in the bag, sulcus, or anterior chamber\udduring the surgery. Depending on the circumstances, scleral fixated intraocular lenses or iris-claw lenses may also be preferred.\udRehabilitation of such patients is not of a great concern today, with the advanced level of vitreoretinal surgery and cataract surgery\udtechniques and with the current state of technology.
