Abstract:
An 18-year-old woman had brown pigment deposits on the central anterior capsule of the lens associated with poor visual acuity and significant anisometropia. Surgical removal of the deposits, phacoemulsification, and intraocular lens implantation resulted in visual improvement. Epicapsular stars are formed by the confluence of multiple fine pigmentary deposits. Although they cause amblyopia, this does not appear to be dense. Surgical removal of these central deposits may improve vision, even if the patient presents as an adult.
