Treatment of after-cataracts via pars plana approach

During the same period, 22 secondary cataracts were operated on, 11 by the limbus and 11 by the pars plana. Among those operated on by way of the limbus, four, bearing an iridocapsular lens, had to undergo further surgery because the opening was too small. The pars plana approach avoids this situation and permits the use of a phacophage.
