In two patients secondary cataracts developed after pars plana vitrectomy. In both cases the lens was removed from the pars plana, and the anterior capsule was kept intact. In one patient a posterior chamber lens was placed in the ciliary sulcus 3 months after the lens had been removed, and in the other patient a posterior chamber lens was implanted intraoperatively after pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy. Improved visual results were obtained in both cases, and there was no evidence of rubeosis or elevated intraocular pressure. In selected cases preservation of the anterior capsule may be important to implant posterior chamber lenses in eyes requiring pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy. To our knowledge this technique has not previously been reported.

D002386	Cataract	Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness. The many kinds of cataract are classified by their morphology (size, shape, location) or etiology (cause and time of occurrence).

D014792	Visual Acuity	Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.	Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
