A capsular anterior tear may expand over night posteriorly, causing subluxation of a in-the-bag IOL or even worse. In case of a radial tear possibly extending to capsule equator it would be safer to implant a larger sulcus IOL as primary procedure. Explanting an IOL already implanted in the torn capsule may be done safely by rolling it in the AC, without widening the tunnel or cutting the IOL. Surgical technique is presented.
