Purpose:
To study the effect on visual acuity of surgical management of late capsular block syndrome (CBS) and the possible complications.
Setting:
Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University People's Hospital, Beijing, China.
Methods:
In this retrospective observational series, records of patients who had late postoperative CBS and surgical management between January 2006 and December 2009 at the same hospital were drawn from a computerized database and reviewed. The patient's baseline characteristics, corrected distance visual acuity, and intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after the surgery were analyzed.
Results:
Corrected distance visual acuity improved after the surgery in all patients. No risk for increased IOP or phacoanaphylaxis endophthalmitis was noted.
Conclusion:
Initial findings with this surgical procedure indicate a potential treatment for late CBS; however, additional studies are needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
