AIMS/PURPOSE: To report the preoperative use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) for the determination of pre-existing posterior capsule defect in patients with posterior polar cataract.
Three patients presented with posterior polar cataract and were evaluated preoperatively using AS-OCT, revealing in one patient intact posterior capsule and in the other two a pre-existing posterior capsule defect not detectable by slit-lamp evaluation. All patients underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.
Intraoperatively, AS-OCT findings were confirmed after cataract surgery in all patients. No intra- or late postoperative complications were noted.
AS-OCT could be an additional useful imaging modality in these patients, essential for surgical planning and patient consultation.
报告前段光学相干断层扫描（AS-OCT）在术前用于确定后极性白内障患者术前存在的后囊膜缺损情况。
三名患有后极性白内障的患者在术前接受了AS-OCT评估，其中一名患者后囊膜完整，另外两名患者存在术前裂隙灯检查无法检测到的后囊膜缺损。所有患者均接受了超声乳化白内障吸除术和人工晶状体植入术。
术中，所有患者白内障手术后均证实了AS-OCT的检查结果。未观察到术中或术后晚期并发症。
AS-OCT可能是这些患者额外有用的成像方式，对手术规划和患者咨询至关重要。
