Necessity is the mother of invention. Procedural delays in procurement of new vitrectomy machine and mounting pressure of patients in a government set up prompted us to use the 23 gauge cutter of Infinity anterior phacoemulsification system with addition of local made LED endolight light source, 2 speed fish pump with micro pore filter for AFE and 23/20 gauge intra cath for silicon oil injection. The video will demonstrate 3 successful VR surgeries using this modified system in cases of post traumatic RD with dialysis and large tear, Intraocular foreign body removal and dropped nucleus. All surgeries done free of cost to patients.
