BANTA, MDThere are three basic principles to follow in a case such as this: 1. avoid overpressurizing the eye 2. adjust your phaco settings to allow compartmentalization of the eye with a dispersive viscoelastic 3. be patient After making standard incisions, I would create a capsulorhexis measuring slightly less than 5 mm. I typically make a larger capsulorhexis, but with a violated posterior capsule, I prefer to use a three-piece acrylic IOL with its haptics in the sulcus and…

Even a short course of this medication years prior to cataract surgery can cause permanent changes to t…
