Brief Summary

With a poor red reflex, it is difficult to see the anterior capsule and continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) margin, sometimes resulting in decentered CCC or radial tearing of the anterior capsule. In addition, other complications, such as rupture of the posterior capsule, dropping of the lens nucleus, or zonular dialysis, can occur during phacoemulsification because of poor visualization of the posterior capsule. These complications also increase the time of surgery and may affect the results of the vitrectomy.

Conditions

Cataract Senile
