Abstract | PURPOSE: To report a precise illustrated image of patient's view during vitrectomy. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: RESULTS: These pictures depicted the moving of pasty, whirling fluid during core vitrectomy, numerous black or gray spots like snowflakes by intravitrealy injected crystals of triamcinolone acetonide, and a sharp tapered instrument coming into the center and membrane-like material being peeled off. CONCLUSIONS: Patients may see a precise shape in a constant size, scale, and detailed movement as well, focused on the retina without described optics. Further investigation will be required to determine this mechanism.
