We treated a patient who had a posteriorly dislocated endocapsular ring associated with decreased vision and intravitreal cortical remnants. The ring was removed by uneventful pars plana vitrectomy. By the last examination, best corrected visual acuity had improved to 6/12 and intraocular pressure had stabilized to within normal limits. A posteriorly dislocated endocapsular ring is a rare complication of cataract surgery. Its removal by pars plana vitrectomy under direct observation is effective and safe.
