All patients underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.Results: Intraoperatively, AS-OCT findings were confirmed after cataract surgery in all patients. No intra- or late postoperative complications were noted.Conclusion: AS-OCT could be an additional useful imaging modality in these patients, essential for surgical planning and patient consultation.Keywords: posterior capsular cataract, phacoemulsification, cataract complications, posterior capsular rupture, anterior segment optical coherence tomographyKymionis GDDiakonis VFLiakopoulos DATsoulnaras KIKlados NEPallikaris IGDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2014, Iss default, Pp 215-217 (2014)
