[Primary posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation of posterior capsular ruptur with cataract extracted by phacoemulsification].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of primary posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation of posterior capsular rupture (PCR) with cataract extracted by phacoemulsification.


METHODS
Primary posterior chamber IOL implantation was performed on 29 cases (29 eyes) with PCR occurring in 184 cases (200 eyes) during cataract extraction by phacoemulsification.


RESULTS
In-the-bag implantation was performed on 10 cases, and sulcus-fixed lens implantation on 19 cases. The post-operative uncorrected visual acuities in 17 cases (58.62%) were 1.0 or better and 0.5 - 0.9 in 10 cases (34.48%). The corrected visual acuities in 22 cases (75.86%) were 1.0 or better and 0.5 - 0.9 in 5 cases (17.24%) after 3 months of operation. The complications included corneal edema and damage of pupillary margin in the operation, and anterior vitreous inflammatory reaction after the operation.


CONCLUSIONS
The posterior chamber IOL can be primarily implanted in cases with PCR and functional anterior or posterior capsular support after the anterior segment vitreous was cleaned.
