2752: Quiz: Why is the IOL dropping?

Image depicting an eye during cataract surgery, showing the intraocular lens (IOL) sinking into the vitreous cavity, with annotations questioning the reason for this occurrence.

Our anonymous surgeon thinks that the case is going beautifully but then with IOL insertion, the entire IOL starts dropping into the vitreous cavity. Why? When did this happen? The complication of capsule rupture happened much earlier than this surgeon expected and it was seemingly subtle so it was not noticed. Watch the video carefully and can you determine when the capsule complication happened? Please comment your answer below.
