Scleral Transillumination With Digital Heads-Up Display: A Novel Technique for Visualization During Vitrectomy Surgery

Efficient and safe vitrectomy surgery is predicated on adequate illumination and visualization of the retina and vitreous. The advent of a small-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy has been closely followed by improvements in endo-illumination technology.1,2 Smaller gauges initially provided poor illumination with standard halogen and metal halide light sources, but this problem was overcome with the advent of high-output xenon light sources powered either as a stand-alone console or integrated within a full-function vitrectomy system. Since then, retina specialists have acquired numerous
