Anterior lens capsule rupture and traumatic cataract due to blunt ocular traumaNilüfer İlhan, Özgür İlhan, Mesut Coşkun, Emre Ayıntap, Esra Tuzcu, Uğurcan Keskin, Hüseyin ÖksüzDepartment Of Ophthalmology, Mustafa Kemal University, Hatay, TurkeyA 16-year-old female was struck in the right eye with a plastic toy. Two days after the trauma, she was admitted to the eye clinic with complaining of reduced vision. Best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)was hand motion in the right eye. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy showed a lightly swollen traumatic cataract with the rupture of anterior lens capsule and mild inflammation was seen in the anterior chamber. The intraocular pressure was 16 mmHg. Ultrasonography of the posterior segment of the eye was normal. The surgery was performed using simcoe cannula through a clear corneal incision followed by implantation of a foldable, acrylic, posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL). One month postoperatively, BCVA in the right eye was 20/20. Nilüfer İlhan, Özgür İlhan, Mesut Coşkun, Emre Ayıntap, Esra Tuzcu, Uğurcan Keskin, Hüseyin Öksüz.
