Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: This retrospective chart review comprised cataract phacoemulsification performed from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 with a total of 3,004 cases (3,186 eyes). The incidence of posterior capsule rupture and the risk factors were the main outcomes. The variables of patient age and gender; laterality of surgical eye; pre-operative visual acuity and intraocular pressure; post-operative visual acuity; the nuclear stages, presence of diabetes mellitus, glaucoma, hypertension and other diseases; history of vitrectomy the surgeons were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Male (χ2=7.82, P<0.01), pre-operative visual acuity less than 20/200 (HR=2.3, P=0.01), and the nuclear stage higher than IV (χ2=18.01, P<0.01) all statistically significantly increased in the posterior capsule rupture group (χ2=14.13, P<0.01). The post-operative visual acuity increased in both groups (2.1±1.0) LogMAR to (1.2±0.8) LogMAR, t=7.71×10(-11), P<0.01 vs (1.5±0.8) LogMAR to (0.7±0.7) LogMAR, t=1.27×10(-42), P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Gender, pre-operative visual acuity, the nuclear stages are all significantly affect the incidence of the posterior capsule rupture. Improving training of surgeons should further reduce the frequency.
