Two cases of very late-onset capsular bag distension syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We present two cases of late-onset capsular bag distension syndrome (CBDS).

Observations

Two female patients were referred with decreased visual acuity and blurred vision. They had both undergone uncomplicated phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation into the capsular bag, seven and 13 years prior.Slit-lamp biomicroscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography demonstrated milky fluid between the intraocular lens and posterior capsules, consistent with late-onset capsular bag distension syndrome. A 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy surgery was performed on each patient.This turbid retrolental fluid was successfully aspirated with posterior capsulotomy using 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy surgery.

Conclusions and importance
