Objective: To assess lens clarity after 3-port lens-sparing vitrectomy for stages 4A and 4B tractional retinal detachment secondary to retinopathy of prematurity. Methods: In a retrospective, interventional, consecutive clinical case series, 108 eyes of 102 patients who underwent lens-sparing vitrectomy for stages 4A and 4B tractional retinal detachment from February 1, 1998, through January 31, 2004, were reviewed. All procedures and follow-up examinations were performed by a single surgeon. Lens clarity was assessed at the final follow-up examination. Results: Of the 108 eyes reviewed, 102 (94.4%)maintained clear lenses at the final follow-up examination, which ranged from 6 to 48 months (mean, 32months) after the procedure. Thirty-two eyes had stage 4A detachments and 76 eyes had stage 4B. Conclusions: Three-port lens-sparing vitrectomy may be performed with relatively low risk of cataract formation during the early postoperative period. Maintenance of a clear crystalline lens during the critical period of visual development may lead to better functional outcomes.
