Abstract
• Various anterior segment problems can be approached through the pars plana and treated with instrumentation that has been developed for vitreous surgery. Two cases of aphakic bullous keratopathy due to vitreous touch and three cases of subluxated lenses were successfully treated. Of two cases of advanced, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, one showed a successful result.
