| HOW
WOULD YOU TREAT THE PATIENT AT THIS POINT? |
|
Because no definite source for the anterior chamber mas was found,
an anterior chamber paracentesis
was performed using a short 30-gauge needle attached to a tuberculin
syringe. There was no contact between the needle tip and the lens.
Posterior synechiolysis
was carried out with a 27-gauge cannula and Healon®. After synechiolysis,
a small anterior lens capsule dehiscence was noted at the 5-o’clock
position, approximately midway between the visual axis and the lens
equator. Postoperative lens examination revealed
a mature cataract. |
