Show Description +

Drs. Schaal, Nesmith, and Ozkok present the treatment of taut posterior hyaloid with 27-gauge DORC vitrectomy system. A 82-year-old lady presented with decreased vision and metamorphopsia. 27 G Cannulas were inserted straight in, without beveling. High flow infusion cannula was connected to maintain adequate IOP. Preservative free triamcinolone acetonide 4mg/0.1 cc was injected followed by indocyanine green dye 0.5%. ERM peel was preformed en-block using 27 G Eckhardt's forceps. Finally, air/fluid exchange was performed. Post-operatively, the patient's vision improved to 20/20, and the metamorphopsia resolved.
