Summary Performing a posterior capsulorhexis on a routine basis related to the implantation of the bag‐in‐the‐lens IOL has opened new frontiers in helping understanding the Berger space and its relation with the vitreous. It is only recent that this space could be observed life during surgery thanks to new OCT devices. This observation may open new understandings on the pathogenesis of vitreo‐retinal complications after cataract surgery.
