Phacoemulsification is a modern surgical technique for cataract operations. Through minimal corneal wound (2.2-2.7 mm) lens nucleus is emulsificated and arteficial lens is implanted in capsular bag. Complications during operations are possible, and can vary from minor to very serious one, with consecutive visual loss. One of possible complications is rupture of posterior lens capsule, which could happen in any stage of operation. The aim of this study was to evaluate results of monoblock arteficial lens implantation in sulcus on the remains of anterior capsule and capsulorhexis after posterior capsule rupture during phacoemulsification.
