a A golden ring followed hydrodelineation to separate the epinucleus and nucleus. b Phacoemulsification of the nucleus with the phaco-chop technique, leaving the posterior capsular cataract (PPC) with the epinucleus in situ. c Ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD)-assisted hydrodissection. The PPC was lifted with the epinucleus by injecting viscoelastic material between the PPC and the posterior capsule. d Irrigation/aspiration of the lifted PPC with the epinucleus. e A 3-piece acrylic IOL implantation into a sulcus with posterior capsular rupture. f A 1-piece acrylic IOL into a capsular bag with an intact posterior capsule
