Relationships between the posterior surface of the crystalline lens and instruments introduced into the vitreous cavity through pars plana incisions were evaluated in ten eyes from cadavers. Instruments were introduced 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.0 mm posterior to the anterior part of the limbus. The distance between an instrument oriented toward the center of the vitreous cavity and the peripheral edge of the lens in that meridian was 1.6 mm when the sclerotomy was 3.0 mm from the limbus and 2.8 mm when the sclerotomy was 4.0 mm from the limbus. The arc length from the sclerotomy where the instrument was introduced to the most distal meridian of the ora serrata that could be reached without touching the lens ranged from 2.8 to 3.8 clock hours as the distance between the sclerotomy and the limbus increased from 3.0 mm to 4.0 mm. The distance between the ora serrata and the most peripherally accessible point on the retina in the meridian 180 degrees from the sclerotomy decreased from 6.0 mm to 3.1 mm as the distance between the limbus and the sclerotomy increased from 3.0 mm to 4.0 mm.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 February 2017.
All research outputs
#24,993,796
of 27,776,330 outputs
Outputs from Retina
#3,532
of 4,123 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#62,657
of 63,550 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Retina
#5
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,776,330 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,123 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 63,550 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
