Late postoperative capsular block syndrome.

ABSTRACT

The authors report the case of a 61-year-old man with late postoperative capsular block syndrome who had undergone phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation 3 years earlier. He presented with a decreased vision in the right eye caused by the accumulation of liquefied milky fluid in the space between the posterior surface of IOL optic and the posterior capsule. Neodymium YAG laser posterior capsulotomy allowed a resolution of the milky fluid and the improvement of the visual acuity to 20/20.
