Perforated PC

Show Description +

This patient had a PPV 5-months prior for a vitreous hemorrhage due to retinal tear. The cataract advanced in the postop period and he presented for surgery. I noted an extensive PSC in the clinic, but under the operating microscope I discovered what appeared to be a perforation of the posterior capsule.
