Usually posterior vitreous aspiration can be achieved by moving the cutter close to the attached retina and maximal suction near the disc or over the temporal vascular arcade. Successful PVD can be recognized by the migrating borderline between attached and detached hyaloid, moving from the posterior pole to the periphery in synchrony with the tip of the cutter.
