    Abstract:
    Vitreous prolapse into the anterior chamber after cataract extraction is a severe complication in cases in which there is a contact between the vitreous and the cornea. The present paper discusses the result of treatment by vitrectomy in 15 patients with this complication. Anatomical and functional improvement was attained in 12 cases (89 p.c.) and in 5 among them--full visual acuity was obtained.
