Title:
Double Whammy in case of a traumatic mature cataract
Abstract Body:
The video demonstrates the management of a traumatic mature cataract and zonular dialysis with an unexpected intraoperative finding. Surgical Steps -A temporal clear-corneal incision was made and the capsule stained with trypan blue to create a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. -A capsular tension ring was inserted before phacoemulsification to stabilize the capsular bag. -On completion of phacoemulsification, a pre-existing posterior capsular tear was identified. -An anterior vitrectomy was performed and residual cortex removed. -The original plan to implant a single-piece IOL was modified, and a three-piece foldable IOL was placed in the sulcus with optic capture. This case highlights that traumatic cataracts can present with unpredictable challenges and the surgical plan must be adapted accordingly. A three-piece IOL with optic capture and availability of anterior vitrectomy support optimal outcomes.
