Abstract Objective:We investigated the problems encountered during the cataract surgery of the patients with brittle cornea syndrome(BCS), a type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and discussed its countermeasures.

Cases:We encountered two cases in which surgical incisions at the main and side ports were torn during phacoemulsification and aspiration surgery for cataract, making subsequent surgery difficult.

Results:The clinical features of the cases included thin corneas(central corneal thickness<400 μm), keratoglobus, and blue sclerae, both of which exhibited the characteristic features of BCS.

Conclusion:In cataract surgery for patients suspected of having BCS on preoperative examination, care should be taken regarding the surgical procedure, such as making a long scleral tunnel at the main port under low irrigation pressure to reduce the risk of iris prolapse and incarceration.
