(a) Intra-operative photograph showing opacified vitreous and the 23-gauge vitreous cutter engaging the dexamethasone (DEX) implant. The cutter was unable to remove the implant. (b) The implant was lifted using the cutter and removed using a 23-gauge intravitreal forceps. (c) The remaining fragment did not fit into a 23-gauge intravitreal forceps, and could be removed only with a 20-gauge intravitreal forceps. (d) Two more fractured pieces of the DEX implant were found on indentation. These were removed using intravitreal forceps after meticulous vitreous dissection.
