Abstract:
We report a case in which posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss, and vitreous hemorrhage were caused by a dislodged, flying cannula during phacoemulsification. We modified our surgical practice since the occurrence of this unusual complication and use Luer-lock syringes during surgery. This measure should prevent the recurrence of this complication.
