Posttraumatic posterior capsular defect: Assessment of 3 cases

Traumatic cases in ophthalmology are of special concern. The extent of injury can vary from simple superficial epithelial defect to gross ocular avulsions, or from a simple concussion injury to a penetrating injury. In cases of blunt trauma, the manifestations are variable, and amongst the many complications, lenticular injuries require detailed evaluation. The usual lens injuries are opacification of lens matter, with or without any capsular discontinuity; however, in the presence of media opacity, the assessment of posterior capsular integrity is a difficult task.
