Unlabelled:
We describe 2 patients with late capsular block syndrome whose anterior chamber morphology was evaluated with ultrasound biomicroscopy and Scheimpflug imaging before and after neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy. Pretreatment ultrasound biomicroscopy examination showed significant capsular bag distension in both patients. Scheimpflug imaging failed to capture the posterior capsule displaced far behind the intraocular lens. Automatic anterior chamber depth measurements were incorrect with Scheimpflug imaging in 1 patient. Ultrasound biomicroscopy seems to be superior to Scheimpflug imaging in eyes with extremely distended capsular bags.
