Induction of posterior vitreous detachment is an important step in vitreous surgery. Successful separation of posterior hyaloid allows for complete removal of vitreous gel and prevents complications and failures related to residual vitreous gel. This video demonstrates the various techniques used for PVD induction, techniques to delineate the posterior hyaloids face, and the importance of identifying the presence of vitreoschisis. We also demonstrate a cost effective method of using autologous gluconated blood clumps for delineating the PHF for PVD induction.
