Abstract:
I describe a case of anterior capsule contraction after implantation of piggyback acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs). Treatment by neodymium:YAG capsulotomy resulted in anterior chamber deepening despite a myopic shift. With acrylic IOLs, refractive changes may be due to optical deformation rather than axial shifts.
