AIM: To investigate the effect and skill of posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation withoutsuture for posterior capsule rupture of cataract.

METHODS: Totally 31 cases(31 eyes)of cataract patients underwent continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis(CCC). When finding the posterior capsule rupture in small incision cataract surgery, the surgeon prevented expansion of posterior capsule rupture. After vitrectomy, the surgeon implanted posterior chamber intraocular lens by residual posterior capsule or anterior capsule.

RESULTS: After 1 week, corrected visionin 80.6% eyes were more than 0.5. After 3 months follow-up, corrected vision in 83.9% eyes were more than 0.5. 31 eyes had no serious complication.

CONCLUSION: Posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation withoutsuture is effective and convenient in the treatment of posterior capsule rupture.
