On this episode of the JVRD Author’s Forum podcast, Dr. Matthew Starr, Associate Professor and Residency Program Director at the Mayo Clinic, discusses “Approach to Ophthalmic Surgery Involving the Anterior Vitreous: A Clinical Practice Update from the American Society of Retina Specialists," published in the November/December 2025 issue of the Journal of VitreoRetinal Diseases.

Host Dr. Timothy Murray and Dr. Starr explore this multidisciplinary practice update developed by ASRS and how it aims to support surgeons across ophthalmology subspecialties who encounter the anterior vitreous during complex cataract procedures, secondary lens placement, glaucoma surgeries, and other situations where the vitreous may be compromised. Their discussion highlights the nuances of vitreous management, the differences between anterior vitrectomy platforms and pars plana systems, and the importance of understanding the risks associated with working near the vitreous base and peripheral retina.

Rather than prescribing what surgeons should or should not do, the update provides practical guidance to improve decision-making, encourage timely collaboration with vitreoretinal specialists, and ultimately help safeguard patient outcomes in challenging surgical scenarios.
