Abstract
We report a case in which posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss, and vit reous hemorrhage were caused by a dislodged, flying cannula during phacoemu lsification. We modified our surgical practice since the occurrence of this unusual complication and use Luer-lock syringes during surgery. This measu re should prevent the recurrence of this complication.
