Presentation
In particular, the surgeon must try to answer the questions: “Why did the patient wait so long before presenting?” [doctorlib.info]
Nine cases are presented, six of them in detail, which suggest that there is a high risk of bullous keratopathy developing when the lens is removed for the treatment of acute glaucoma due to an intumescent cataract. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Many of the lenses have a considerable amount of non-cataractous lens structure present at the time of surgery. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology In an eye with advanced cataract formation, the lens is swollen or intumescent. Progressive reduction occurs in the iridocorneal angle. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology It appears that morgagnian cataract is a special form of cortico-nuclear cataract. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Diabetes or elevated blood sugar Steroid use (oral, IV, or inhaled) Ultraviolet exposure Smoking Ocular diseases: Retinitis Pigmentosa, Uveitis Ocular Trauma Prior ocular surgery Procedures: Vitrectomy, Intravitreal injections Genetic predisposition Age Pathophysiology [eyewiki.org]
Prevention
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of phaco capsulotomy in preventing the Argentinean flag sign. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
The needle bevel was facing down to prevent aspiration of the anterior capsule into the needle, occluding it. [ijo.in]
In conclusion, phaco capsulotomy is a safe and effective technique for preventing the Argentinean Flag Sign. [dovepress.com]
The technique prevents rupture of the floppy posterior capsule by providing a constant support to it. The scaffold provides stable inflation of the capsular bag and prevents inadvertent emulsification. [eyewiki.aao.org]
The use of a single central disruptive pulse of energy may maintain an equal distribution of vector forces, preventing uncontrolled splitting of the anterior capsule to the periphery. [scielo.br]
