Cataract extraction was performed in the supine, head‐up (anti‐Trendelenburg) posture in 220 patients without vitreous loss. The rationale for this surgical‐posture approach as a useful additional technique in preventing vitreous loss is discussed. Other clinically accepted methods for the prevention of this complication in cataract surgery are summarized.
