We describe the surgical technique of using an illuminated infusion chandelier for cataract extraction in patients with absent red reflex due to vitreous hemorrhage. A 23-gauge illuminated infusion chandelier was used for cataract extraction in 6 consecutive patients (6 eyes) who underwent combined surgery: phacoemulsification and 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy. During surgery, the light from the illuminated infusion chandelier was used to enhance the red reflex and to better visualize the lens structure and capsule. Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification were successfully performed. Capsular polishing was also performed safely and easily. The posterior capsule remained intact and the intraocular lens was inserted into the bag in all cases. Thus, the use of the 23-gauge illuminated infusion chandelier can improve visualization of the lens structure and capsule, thereby facilitating successful cataract extraction in select patients with vitreous hemorrhage.
