PC Tear in the Setting of a Premium Lens (Toric/Multifocal/Accommodating)

Premium intraocular lenses (toric, multifocal, and accommodating lenses) have become an important option for patients considering cataract extraction. Toric lenses correct the refractive error due to corneal astigmatism. Many studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of toric lenses [1–3], as well as the favorable experience of implanted patients [1]. However, using such lenses increases the complexity of cataract surgery, more extensive planning is required to ensure proper placement of the lens. Intraoperatively, these lenses must be placed at the correct orientation, which requires increased manipulation within the capsular bag.
