dc.description.abstractPurpose To present an alternative cataract surgical technique in patients with cataract and intravitreal hemorrhage.MethodsTwelve cases with poor fundus reflex caused by severe vitreus hemorrhage were included in the study. All patients underwent combined phaco surgery and 23-gauge vitrectomy. Chandelier retroillumination was inserted into the infusion trochar during the cataract operations and was used with low power (50-75%) in necessary steps.ResultsWe did not experience phaco complications or complications due to technique during surgery. Retroillumination assistance was especially useful during final stages of cataract surgery, particularly irrigation-aspiration of cortical material.ConclusionRetroillumination in absence of red fundus reflex may be helpful and can be practiced more often in cataract surgery combined with vitrectomy.
