We present a case of anterior PVR which was noticed only after removing corneal leucoma.
The scleral fixation IOL was removed and an open sky retinotomy was performed before re-implanting the IOL which was previously removed. A retinal counter-rotation was performed and silicone oil tamponade was injected. To conclude the surgery we performed keratoplasty.
Take home message: Peripheral open sky retinotomy offers some advantages: it is faster and it can be better controlled. "Take care" of the old IOL: it can be the best solution.
