(Ophthalmology1996;103(5):713-20) compared three methods of management of pediatric cataract: lensectomy anterior vitrectomy (LAV), extracapsular cataract extraction with IOL implantation (ECCE + IOL) and ECCE, primary posterior capsulotomy, anterior vitrectomy with IOL (ECCE + PPC + AV + IOL). They concluded that ECCE + PPC + AV+ IOL was conducive to atContinue reading “Vitrectomy”
