“Common sense must be used in the presence of an anterior capsular lesion and posterior segment IOFB, it is very unlikely that the posterior capsule in intact. The surgeon must be prepared for intraoperative surprises regarding capsular injury” (Kuhn et al. 2002).

Perform ocular examinations, including visual acuity assessment and careful evaluation of whether the globe is intact. If there is an obvious perforation site, the remainder of the examination may be deferred until surgery. One must remember to be careful when examining an open globe, as prolapsing the ocular contents generally worsens the prognosis.
