2976: CataractQuiz: When did the capsule break?
Welcome to another interactive surgical quiz where we need your help crowd sourcing the exact timing of a complication. In this femtosecond laser assisted phacoemulsification case, the capsular bag ruptures, but pinpointing the precise moment requires a close look at the video. My initial assessment points toward the hydrodissection phase, where a highly subtle snap sign can be observed if you watch carefully. However, complications in femto phaco cases can sometimes be deceptive, and the initial compromise might have occurred even earlier during the laser capsulotomy or later during nuclear division. We want to hear from our global community of ophthalmologists to get your expert insights on what went wrong. Watch the video closely, look for the subtle clues, and please comment your opinion below with the exact timestamp of when you think the capsule broke.
