Abstract: There are 1.3 billion people in the world having some form of visual impairment and cataract is one of the most important causes. In the low and middle income countries the proportion of visual impairment due to cataract is much higher. Cataract is the commonest cause of preventable blindness in the world, accounting for about 51%of global blindness. Presently surgery is the only available treatment for cataract. Therefore reduction in blindness due to cataract is dependent on available infrastructure, funds, equipment’s, skilled manpower; specially sufficient number of ophthalmic surgeons to perform cataract surgery and also intra-operative and post-operative complications. Posterior capsular rent (PCR) is one of the most common intra-operative complications of cataract surgery that can affect the postoperative visual acuity.
