Abstract

CONVENTIONAL VITREORETINAL SURGERY MAY BE DIFFICULT IN EYES WITH MEDIA OPACITIES LIKE CASES OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS, MICROBIAL KERATITIS, OCULAR TRAUMA , FAILED CORNEAL GRAFTS AND EYES WITH CORNEAL SCARRING . WHILE A TEMPORARY KERATOPROSTHESIS (TKPRO) CAN HELP IN OVERCOMING THESE LIMITATIONS TO A CERTAIN EXTENT BUT THE USE OF TEMPORARY KPROS IS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLICATIONS AND ALSO HAS AN OBLIGATORY NEED FOR AN IMMEDIATE SUBSEQUENT CORNEAL ALLOGRAFT. AN OPHTHALMIC ENDOSCOPE CAN HELP IN OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES CAUSED BY ANTERIOR SEGMENT OPACIFCATION AND CAN THUS ALLOW FOR BETTER PROGNOSTIFICATION AND AN EARLY INTERVENTION IN SUCH CASES WHERE A VITREORETINAL INTERVENTION IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH CONVENTIONAL VIEWING SYSTEMS.
