Abstract:
A 52-year-old man who had phacoemulsification and in-the-bag fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) developed capsular block syndrome 1 day after reverse implantation of the IOL. After a neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser peripheral anterior capsulotomy, the distended capsular bag collapsed significantly and the artificial myopia partially resolved. An Nd:YAG laser peripheral anterior capsulotomy appeared to be an effective, simple, and minimally invasive method to treat this problem.
