Materials and methods: Retrospective combined phacoemulsifi cation - Pars plana vitrectomy-internal limiting membrane peeling 33 macular holes and 10 epiretinal membrane patients and 43 control patients with the only phacoemulsifi cation were included in the study. Intraocular lens power to be implanted was measured by low coherence interferometry. Comparison of expected postoperative refraction with result refraction Wilcoxon test and comparison with the control group was performed with the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: There was no signifi cant difference between the combined surgery group and the control group refraction results (p = 0.41, p> 0.05) and also between expected refraction and fi nal refraction in the surgery group (p = 0.16, p> 0.05).
Conclusion: In such vitreoretinal interface problems requiring combined surgery, the expected refraction after surgery is similar to routine phacoemulsifi cation surgery.
