Abstract
Vitreous prolapse is a postcataract surgery complication that can further cause corneal decompensation, glaucoma, macular edema, and retinal detachment. We present a rare case report of delayed vitreous prolapse in a 55-year-old man 20 years after cataract surgery with posterior capsular rupture causing diminution of vision and central corneal decompensation. To our surprise, the intraocular pressure was 18.6 mmHg (within the normal limits). The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy for the same and had excellent postoperative visual recovery.
