Abstract
We describe a technique for combined fluid–gas exchange and phacoemulsification 2 weeks after macular hole surgery to achieve rapid visual rehabilitation. The procedure uses a standard cataract set and requires minimal vitreoretinal expertise. We encountered no significant complications and obtained long-term outcomes comparable to those with conventional management.Financial DisclosureNo author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.
