Abstract
Estriol was effective for the visualization of the prolapsed vitreous body in the anterior chamber after posterior capsule rupture. In experimental models, no significant side effects were observed after the injection of estriol in the anterior chamber. Results suggest that estriol is an alternative reagent for visualizing the vitreous body, especially in steroid responders, because it has no glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid activity.
