Abstract
Posterior polar cataracts (PPC) are cataracts lying on the posterior pole of the lens. They are slicked to the posterior capsule, so there are many times more chances of the post capsule ruptures and related sequelae. In this article, I will share my approach regarding the pre-operative considerations and plans, including patient counseling, anesthesia type, capsulorhexis, hydro procedures, intraocular lens types, cataract surgery methods, and the manual small incision cataract surgery, phacoemulsification and femto laser-assisted cataract surgery. This article will also discuss complications arising from posterior capsule ruptures and their management. This is an e-video article so each section is embedded with the video links and QR codes under the subject with the help of the surgical videos.
