ABSTRACT
The common complications associated with a posterior polar cataract (PPC) with deficient or weak posterior capsules (PCs) are posterior capsular rupture (PCR), vitreous loss, and luxation of lens material into the vitreous. Often the commonly used technique of hydrodelineation in such cataracts can lead to accidental hydrodissection, and even the slightest nucleus rotation during phacoemulsification can cause the PC to give way. We describe a modified relatively safe technique (Trident technique) for managing the nucleus in PPCs which does not involve any hydroprocedure or nucleus rotation.
