Femtosecond laser assisted capsulotomy in the treatment of capsule contraction case report.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To present the surgical value of femtosecond laser capsulotomy in the treatment of capsular contraction.

Observations

The clinical case of a 63-year-old male patient with single eye who, two months after cataract surgery without complications, presented a significant dislocation of the secondary intraocular lens due to a capsule contraction and epithelial metaplasia that covered the lens optics and caused low vision.

Conclusions

The femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy proved to be effective and safe with minimal traction on the zonule and no IOL damage, in this patient with a follow-up of 29 months.
