Capsule contraction syndrome despite capsular tension ring

ABSTRACT

A 60-year-old man had phacoemulsification complicated by zonular dehiscence and implantation of capsular tension ring [CTR] and a three-piece foldable SENSARAE intraocular lens [IOL] in his right eye. Nine weeks postoperatively, sever anterior capsule fibrosis and contracture of capsulorhexis opening was noted. A neodymium YAG [NdYAG] laser radial anterior capsulotomy was performed to prevent further zonular stress. This case shows that the use of CTR might not prevent the occurrence of capsule contraction syndrome
