Abstract

Objective To study the causes and management of posterior capsule rupture (PCR) in manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS). Methods The clinical cases of 75 eyes of PCR in 978 eyes undergoing MSICS were analysed. Results These 75 eyes all got IOLS,and the number of eyes which achieved a best corrected visual acuity of 0. 3 or more was 54 (72. 00% ). Conclusion Posterior capsule rupture which occurred in different stages of the operation was the commonest intra-operative complication in MSICS. The incidence of PCR can be decreased by careful operation and suitable management leads to satisfactory outcome. Key words: primary level hospital; cataract extraction, small incision; rupture, posterior capsule.
