title: Ultrasonic diagnosis of posterior lens rupture.
abstract: A case of ultrasonically-diagnosed posterior lens capsule rupture, confirmed at surgery, is presented. The A-scan and contact B-scan findings enabling the diagnosis to be made are presented. The ability to make such a preoperative determination allows for the planning of more rational therapy, and should help improve the final visual results in such cases.
