Clinical effect of peripheral capsule preservation in eyes with silicone oil tamponade

Figure 1 Comparison of intraocular pressure in three groups at diffferent time points after operation. PCP: Peripheral capsule preservation group; CA: Capsule absent group; WCP: Whole capsule preserved group; ^aP < 0.05.

Figure 2 Anterior segment photography of patients in whole capsule preserved group and peripheral capsule preservation group. A: After phacoemulsification, although the posterior capsule was polished during the operation, there was still limited capsule opacification (arrow); B: After phacoemulsification, the posterior capsule was directly cut during vitrectomy to avoid the occurrence of posterior capsular opacity.
