Posterior Capsule broke ( Posterior Capsular Rent) during IA - surgery ended well

Posterior Capsular Rent (PCR), is a breach in the posterior capsule of the crystalline lens during cataract surgery. A common yet feared complication of cataract surgery, posterior capsular rent may lead to sub-optimal visual outcomes If not recognized early or managed appropriately. The consequences of this complication vary with the stage at which it occurred or was recognized, the coexisting pathologies in the operated eye, the expertise of the operating surgeon and the facilities available to manage it. Consequent vitreous loss is also a major determinant of postoperative outcomes. The overall incidence of PCR reported in the literature varies from 0.2% to 14%. The rate of VL is found to be between 1% and 5%. In recent years, advanced techniques, instrumentation, and technology have reduced the PCR rate to 0.45%–5.2%. The incidence of PCR in surgeries performed by experienced surgeons is placed at 0.45%–3.6%. For surgeons converting from extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) to phacoemulsification, the PCR incidence is around 4.8%–11%.
