Abstract
• We describe a technique to facilitate visualization of the vitreous base, pars plana, and pars plicata during vitreous surgery. This technique takes advantage of an externally applied fiberoptic light source coupled with scleral depression to enable direct viewing of the ciliary processes and anterior vitreous base. No special instrumentation or alteration in pars plana vitrectomy techniques is required. We have used this technique to enhance anterior dissection during vitrectomy surgery in the aphakic and pseudophakic eye associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, epithelial down-growth syndromes, and postvitrectomy fibrin formation.
