Aspheric Macular Lens for Complication in Cataract Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In this case report, we demonstrate the application of an aspheric macular lens (Grieshaber, Alcon) for conducting posterior segment procedures after a posterior capsular rupture (PCR) occurrence during cataract surgery.

Case presentation

During a cataract surgery on a 70-year-old female patient, a PCR was identified, accompanied by the descent of the lens into the vitreous, and prompted subsequent interventions. This involved performing posterior-assisted levitation, anterior segment phacoemulsification, and anterior segment vitrectomy. Subsequently, due to the absence of a BIOM posterior viewing system in the operating room, an aspheric macular lens (Grieshaber, Alcon) was positioned on the patient's eye. Subsequently, pars plana vitrectomy was performed, alon
