Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Lens feathering due to intraocular gas may cause significant challenges with intraoperative visualization during posterior segment surgery. Herein, we describe an intraoperative technique for improving posterior segment visualization impacted by lens feathering. METHODS: New technique to improve visualization in vitrectomy from gas-induced cataract. RESULTS: The light pipe is used to gently massage posterior subcapsular lens vacuoles to improve the surgical view intraoperatively. CONCLUSION: We report an effective and efficient technique to improve lens feathering during vitreoretinal surgery without need for cataract extraction.
