We aim to present a case describing a novel approach for phacoemulsifi cation in eyes those previously underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Iris - lens diaphragm retropulsion occurred as the phaco tip was introduced into the anterior chamber and did not respond to reducing the bottle height. Four perilimbal openings were made approximately 90 degrees apart at 10, 1, 4, and 7 o’clock positions via which four iris hooks were introduced into the anterior chamber and engaged beneath the capsulorhexis edge. The operation was completed with a stable anterior chamber, with no further fl uctuation. No intraoperative or postoperative complication occurred. Stabilization of the iris-lens capsule complex with iris hooks appear to be effective in preventing complications, offering promising surgical outcome in phacoemulsifi cation of vitrectomized eyes.
