In this video, authors share pearls for performing phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation in traumatic cataract cases. The management of traumatic cataracts can be challenging. The chance of a successful outcome has increased thanks to advanced phaco/vitrectomy machines with improved fluidic parameters, refined surgical techniques, and the availability of various capsular dyes (eg, trypan blue), anti-inflammatory/vitreous staining adjuncts (preservative-free triamcinolone), devices (OVDs, iris hooks, Rings, etc.). The ophthalmologist’s understanding and thorough evaluation (anterior and posterior segment examination and imaging studies to rule out an intraocular foreign body) of the nature and extent of the ocular damage in addition to careful planning and counseling prior to surgery are imperative to the proper management of these challenging cases.
