Abstract
In this technique for managing posterior polar cataract, extreme care is taken not to overpressurize the anterior chamber or capsular bag to prevent posterior capsule rupture. Minimal hydrodissection and hydrodelineation are performed. The nucleus is extracted using minimal ultrasound energy. Viscodissection is used as a primary technique to mobilize the epinucleus and cortex. A protective layer is preserved over the posterior polar region until the conclusion of the extraction procedure to minimize the risk of loss of lens material into the vitreous cavity in the case of a capsule defect.
