An 82-year-old patient presented with a complaint of reduced vision. During the slit-lamp examination, she was found to have an extra layer of anterior capsule floating in the anterior chamber. No phacodonesis was demonstrable despite bilateral 3+ nucleosclerotic cataracts. The rest of the ocular examination was normal. The patient underwent phacoemulsification under topical anesthesia. After creating a temporal clear corneal incision, the surgeon used VisionBlue (DORC International BV) to identify the extra layer of anterior capsule in the anterior chamber. The capsulorhexis was carefully performed to ensure removal of the layer of capsule without leaving tags at the margin of the continuous curvilinear tear. The rest of the phaco procedure was unremarkable with in-the-bag implantation of a singlepiece acrylic IOL (Rayner C-flex; Rayner Intraocular Lenses Ltd.).

The patient initially presented with sudden-onset foreign body sensation, redness, and sensitivity to light. He was diagnosed with peripheral ulcerative keratitis and treated with antibiotics and steroid drops. The patient was then referred to a cornea specialist. Dissection of the lesion revealed a small rock in the cornea.
