Abstract:
The article describes 5 cases of capsular block syndrome (CBS). This late cataract surgery complication has not been sufficiently covered in Russian scientific literature. Diagnostics were based mainly on slit-lamp biomicroscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography. In all cases, examination revealed a retro-optical space filled with content of different transparency and homogeneity (transparent liquid, opaque liquid, regenerative lens material). The condition caused visual acuity to decrease in each case. Patient management included follow-ups (2 cases), yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (YAG-laser) puncture of posterior lens capsule (1 case) or YAG-laser posterior capsulotomy (2 cases). YAG-laser treatment resulted in visual functions improvement.
