To the Editor:

We read with great interest the article by Narayan et al. [1], which provides a timely and large-scale analysis of when posterior capsular rupture (PCR) occurs during cataract surgery. The finding that PCR most frequently occurs during phacoemulsification (60%), followed by irrigation-aspiration (IA; 24%), offers an important update to surgical risk awareness.
