Summary: Vitreous covers 90% of the eyeball and is one of the most important elements of its structure. Operation for senile cataract can cause vitreous floater or vitreous detachment. In the research 100 eyes were examined by US on 4 occasions: 1 day before surgery, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months post surgery. Statistical analysis shows that preoperative vitreous status has insignificant effect on the postoperative changes in the vitreous, whereas the age is a significant factor. The severe preoperative floaters significantly increased detachment probability occurrence.
Keywords: phacoemulsification, B-scan, vitreous.
