We report a complication that occurred during clear corneal phacoemulsification. When saline was injected during hydrodissection with a 27-gauge J-shaped cannula attached to a 2.0 mL luer-lock polypropylene syringe, the cannula dislodged and slipped behind the iris, hooking to the lens equator. Although the cannula was carefully removed, 3 clock hours of zonular dialysis were observed between the 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock meridians. After phacoemulsification, lens aspiration, and in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation, vitreous was noted inferiorly and the anterior vitrectomy was completed.

Managing surgical aphakia and posterior capsular rupture with suture-assisted intraocular lens implantation.

Department of Glaucoma, CL Gupta Eye Institute, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Objective: This study aims to describe a novel technique for implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) in the sulcus using a 10-0 nylon suture in cases of intraoperative posterior capsular rupture (PCR) with inadequate capsular support, anterior capsular extension during continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis extending to the posterior capsule, or posttraumatic cataract.
Methods: The study included 52 patients who underwent surgery at our hospital, during which an IOL was implanted with the assistance of a 10-0 nylon suture. All patients completed a 1-year follow-up period.
Finite Element Analysis of Mechanical Ocular Sequelae from Badminton Shuttlecock Projectile Impact.

Department of Ophthalmology, Gavin Herbert Eye Institute, University of California, Irvine, California.
Purpose: With the growing popularity of badminton worldwide, the incidence of badminton-related ocular injuries is expected to rise. The high velocity of shuttlecocks renders ocular traumas particularly devastating, especially with the possibility of permanent vision loss. This study investigated the mechanism behind ocular complications through simulation analyses of mechanical stresses and pressures upon shuttlecock impact.
