There are days when, by an unfortunate coincidence, surgeries with a high risk of complications are scheduled on the same day. This story tells the tale of one of these days: two monocular patients, a subluxed lens, and capsulorhexis tear and damaged lens. The first case was a patient with a white cataract who had lost the other eye in a previous cataract surgery. The second case was another monocular, high hyperoptic, glaucomatous eye with a small pupil. The third case included a post-trauma subluxation of the lens. The final case seemed routine until the capsulorhexis tears and it is discovered that the the lens haptic is torn. [Video Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (VJCRS Volume XVII Issue 1) 2001]
