Clinical Characteristics and Surgical Safety in Congenital Cataract Eyes with Three Pathological Types of Posterior Capsule Abnormalities

Figure 2

(a–c) Intraoperative views for 3 types of persistent fetal vasculature (PFV), including anterior (a), combined (b), and posterior (c) PFVs. Fetal vessels were visible on the photos. Yellow arrows point out the fetal vessels from anterior segments, while red arrows point out the vessels from the posterior segments. (d–f) Intraoperative appearances for 3 types of posterior capsule defect (PCD). Type I: a large defect with sinking cortex in the anterior vitreous; type II: a cluster of fine defects in the posterior capsule; type III: a defect with a concurrent persistent fetal vasculature (PFV). (g) Intraoperative sight for posterior lenticonus (PLC). The yellow arrow shows the involved areas of PLC.
