Lavayssiere CA, et al. - In this investigation involving 100 eyes of 92 patients, researchers compared the rate of posterior synechiae of the iris (PSI) occurrence following phacovitrectomy between a group with lens-in-the-bag (LIB) implantation, ie, capsular bag implantation, and the bag-in-the-lens (BIL) implantation group. This comparative retrospective study was performed at CHU de Caen, Department of Ophthalmology, Caen, France. Preoperative synechia and the use of retinal endophotocoagulation are nearly significantly linked to the incidence of PSI among the risk factors studied. In phacovitrectomy, using BIL rather than LIB implantation virtually eliminates PSI.
