Abstract
A 59-year-old woman with diabetic vitreous hemorrhage and contracted anterior capsule opening received secondary capsulorhexis and trans pars plana vitrectomy in a single operation. The combined surgery was successful. In addition, the anterior capsule opening was enlarged by the procedure and no further vitreous hemorrhage occurred during the 6 month follow-up period in both eyes. When anterior capsule opening reduction is encountered in patients requiring vitreoretinal surgery, combining secondary capsulorhexis and vitreoretinal surgery together in a single operation maybe provide a good treatment alternative.
