Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the surgeon is unable to gain visualization of the posterior cavity of the eye during vitrectomy, a lensectomy may be performed in conjunction to improve visualization. Enucleation involves the removal of the entire eyeball and would not be necessary in this situation. Iridectomy involves the removal of a portion of the iris and is not relevant to visualization of the posterior cavity. Keratoplasty involves the transplantation of corneal tissue and is not relevant to this situation.
