Özet

The aim of this case study was to present the effect of partial pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in two cases that is due to the presenceof an intraocular foreign body (IOFB) and intraocular lens (IOL) that has dropped into the intravitreal area. The first case was a30-year-old man with IOFB in the right eye, and the second case was a 34-year-old woman whose IOL was dropped into vitreousafter trauma. In cases, IOFB and IOL were extracted from vitreous performed by partial PPV without complication. Partial PPVwas effective despite without complete vitrectomy. With minimal/partial vitrectomy approach, most of the vitreous tissues wasleft in place. We believe that this approach will reduce the rate of complications, such as cataract and retinal detachment.
