It has been postulated that previously created small-incision tunnels can function as release valves during blunt trauma by preventing further global rupture and limiting IOL prolapse or retinal injury. Our cases suggested this can happen even long periods after cataract surgery. The case with partial aniridia demonstrated the process of the expulsive aniridia, and its findings do not contradict the postulated mechanisms.
