Abstract
Capsulear distention syndrome is a known complication in the immediate or delayed postoperative period following cataract surgery.This is more common in small rhexis and in sulcus fixated IOL WITH anterior optic capture where the retained OVD and BSS remain trapped behind an anteriorly displaced IOL in the bag. We describe a prophylatic peripheral capsulotomy created using a 26G capsulotomy needle to prevent this complication,
