  • Title: Capsular bag distension associated with sulcus implantation of intraocular lenses.
    Author: Geyer O, Goldstein M, Rothkoff L, Lazar M.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 1998 Nov; 24(11):1538-40. PubMed ID: 9818349.
    Abstract:
    Capsular bag distension syndrome after endophacoemulsification and in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation has been reported. We describe 2 cases in which sulcus implantation of a posterior chamber IOL caused marked capsular bag distension. Both cases resolved with conservative treatment or a neodymium:YAG posterior capsulotomy.
