摘要：

Posterior polar cataract is associated with a deficiency of the posterior capsule in a high percentage of cases, leading to a high incidence of capsule rupture and potential vitreous loss. We describe an approach that minimizes the risk of vitreous loss. The key is viscodissection, a technique that can be applicable in other situations. (C) 2002 ASCRS and ESCRS.
