AIM:To investigate the curative effect of removal of the lens,retaining the anterior capsule and intraocular lens implantation in vitrectomy.METHODS:Forty-six cases (46 eyes) with vitreoretino-pathy accompanied by lens opacity underwent removal of the lens through ciliary body pars plana incision,retaining anterior capsule,parallel vitrectomy,the first stage intraocular lens implantation. RESULTS:Visions of all the patients were improved at varying degrees. In some patients the anterior lens capsule showed turbidity at different degrees during the review and YAG laser incision was performed.CONCLUSION:Removal of the lens capsule,retaining the anterior lens capsule and intraocular lens implantation in stage Ⅰin vitrectomy can keep the normal eye an-atomic structure,decrease the complications before and after the operation,and the visual acuities get good recovery.
