Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: This retrospective study consisted of 113 eyes of 109 patients with various vitreoretinal abnormalities and visually significant cataract. Vitreoretinal surgery was combined with clear corneal phacoemulsification and intraocular mplantation. RESULTS: The combined surgery resulted in minimal complications, and postoperative visual acuity was improved in 83 eyes (71.6%). Visual acuity was improved by two or more lines in 26 eyes (66.6%) with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, 22 eyes (73%) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy, eight eyes (30.7%) with macular abnormalities, four eyes (55.5%) with trauma and two eyes (40%) with retinal vein occlusion.
