Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil tamponade can cause anterior lens capsule changes that can complicate capsulorrhexis. We found a membrane acting as a second anterior lens capsule during cataract surgery following a PPV for retinal detachment. This film may better prepare ophthalmologists for similar ocular pathologies that they may encounter intraoperatively.
