  • Title: Capsulorhexis contraction syndrome despite capsular tension ring implantation.
    Author: Cheour M, Brour J, Boukari M, Kraiem A.
    Journal: Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol; 2010; (315):19-21. PubMed ID: 21110505.
    Abstract:
    A 35-year-old woman with zonular weakness in the left eye had phacoemulsification with inthe- bag implantation of an acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) and a capsular tension ring. 6 months postoperatively, the patient developed significant visual loss secondary to capsule shrinkage and contraction of the capsulorhexis opening, associated to a slight IOL decentration. Neodymium: YAG laser radial anterior capsulotomy and anterior capsulectomy were performed leading to visual acuity restoration.
