BIMANUAL VITREOUS SURGERY WITH SLIT-BEAM ILLUMINATION AND A MULTICOATED CONTACT LENS

摘要

Slit illumination for vitreous surgery has recently gained popularity, although its history goes back 30 years.The greatest advantage of external slit illumination from the operating microscope is that it frees the surgeon's second hand for bimanual surgery. As a result, surgery such as membrane resection and hemo-stasis of new vessels in eyes with proliferative vitreo-retinopathy can be performed easily and safely with both hands.
