Abstract
Usually we use different kinds of contact lens to perform vitrectomy. The contact lens changing during vitrectomy is tedious and labor consuming. To facilitate more efficient vitrectomy, we developed a contact lens universally substituting all kinds of contact lens for vitrectomy. The liquid lens could be put flat and served as a plano or concave contact lens. While tilted, it became a prism contact lens. With different angle of tilting, it can be used as a prism contact lens with a designated prism diopter. It could also be used under gas tamponade. While doing vitrectomy, the liquid contact lens could be applied all the way without changing. Universally, this unique liquid lens can replace plano, concave, 15-degree prism contact lens, 30-degree prism contact lens, and 45-degree prism contact lens for vitrectomy.
