Abstract

Objective:To analyze the causes and treatment measures of rupture of posterior capsule in the phacoemulsification for cataracts.Methods:483 patients(532 eyes) of phacoemulsification were col-lected,and 19 eyes of the posterior capsule rupture during this operation were analyzed and investigated.Results:Posterior capsule rupture occurred in 19 eyes(3.57%)during the operation.Most happened in the step of phacoemusification,and individually by eyes’conditions.Conclusion:Screening eyes that are suit-able for phacoemusification and improving surgical skills can lower incidence rate of posterior capsule rup-ture;Appropriate and timely intraoperative management will obtain good visual acuity.
