Abstract
The most common problems involving the cornea in vitreous surgery during the operation and the post-operative period will not be taken into account, but instead we will be dealing with particular and less frequent pathological conditions concerning the cornea during vitrectomy. Sometimes, these pathological situations may go beyond the specific field of the posterior segment, and therefore require the collaboration of a corneal surgeon. In other cases, the resolution of the pathology of the posterior segment may facilitate a probable surgery of the anterior segment.
