| Summary: | Capsular bag distension syndrome is a rare complication following
phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. We
describe the case of a middle-age male, who developed early onset capsular bag
distension syndrome of the right eye after phacoemulsification with implantation of
plate haptic posterior chamber intraocular lens (Zeiss CT ASPHINA 509MP). There
was persistent poor vision during follow up at 1 week and 5 weeks post-surgery
with a myopic shift of 2.5 diopters sphere (DS). The intraocular pressure was only
elevated at 2 hours post-operative and was normal during the subsequent followup.
Distension of capsular bag was confirmed with the IOP Master 700 which
showed abnormal separation of posterior capsule from the intraocular lens. He
was diagnosed with capsular bag distension syndrome secondary to retention of
viscoelastic. Right eye removal of retained viscoelastic was performed and the
capsular bag distension syndrome resolved successfully with best corrected visual
acuity at 6/6. Hence, complete clearance of viscoelastic during phacoemulsification
with plate haptic intraocular lens is important in order to prevent capsular bag
distension syndrome. |
