Blind Spot - The Eye Doctor's Podcast

When a posterior capsule rupture occurs during cataract surgery, the standard teaching is that we do an anterior vitrectomy if the hyaloid face is broken and vitreous comes forward. But why is the anterior vitrectomy so important? Is it always 100% necessary? And what are some tips on performing the anterior vitrectomy as safely and effectively as possible. Dr. Uday Devgan, aka The Cataract Coach, joins the podcast.
