PURPOSE To describe various types of anterior capsular tears and an early diagnostic, flap motility, as a sign of posterior capsular rupture following posterior extension of radial tears. DESIGN This was a prospective study carried out in 4,331 eyes that underwent phacoemulsification in a private practice setting from April 2015 to February 2016. Twenty six consecutive cases of anterior capsu...

PURPOSE To investigate the optimal strategy for surgical management of traumatic cataract with posterior capsular rupture. METHODS We describe four cases of traumatic cataract with posterior capsular rupture and an in vitro model built to evaluate the optimal infusion pressure during surgery. RESULTS All patients underwent cataract surgery. By using an anterior chamber maintainer to elevate...

A 10-year-old boy suffered a large, oblique anterior capsular tear following blunt injury to his right eye. The boy was followed daily for hyphema resolution and progressive traumatic cataract formation. After the hyphema had resolved, the lens was removed using an anterior approach and an intraocular lens was placed with excellent visual outcome.

Synechiae involving the iris pigment epithelium and the peripheral anterior lens capsule occur in capsular glaucoma. During cataract extraction they may bring about traction on the capsule threatening its rupture. The ultrastructural basis of these adhesions is a bonding of pigment cells to capsular surface by pseudoexfoliative material.

purpose: to evaluate changes in anterior chamber (ac) parameters before and one month after nd:yag capsulotomy. methods: a total of 30 eyes from 27 patients with posterior capsule opacification graded 2-4 with surgical history of uneventful phacoemulsification and acrylic foldable iol implantation were included in this study. before capsulotomy and one month later, anterior chamber depth, volum...

AIM To determine whether anterior capsule polishing during cataract surgery done by phacoemulsification has any effect on the rate of posterior capsule opacification. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a 3 year retrospective analytical study at our hospital. The medical records of patients who underwent cataract extraction by phacoemulsification with foldable square edge hydrophilic PCIOL bet...

The occurrence of a capsular rupture during phacoemulsification is not an uncommon entity, with a reported incidence of up to 5-5% when cases are performed by inexperienced residents,l as opposed to 0 9% when performed by an experienced phacosurgeon.2 Other predisposing factors to capsular rupture include: pseudoexfoliation,3 poorly dilating pupils,4 posterior polar cataract,5 and can opener or...

It has been demonstrated arthrographically that two types of acute dislocation of the shoulder occur in man (Reeves 1966). One is capsular rupture and the other is intracapsular dislocation. The age distribution is different in the two groups of patients: capsular rupture is predominantly an injury of the elderly, whereas intracapsular dislocation, in which the glenoid labrum or capsule is avul...
