Dynamic changes of Elschnig pearls posterior capsule opacification.

An adolescent female with underlying bilateral pseudophakia and idiopathic intermediate uveitis had reduced visual acuity due to posterior capsule opacification (PCO). The rapid progression and different morphological formations of Elschnig pearls were not influenced by the uveitis and immunosuppressive treatment. No capsulotomy was performed, and the PCO regressed spontaneously over time.
