Abstract
We report a 60-year-old man with incomplete capsular bag distension syndrome 2 years after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy for capsule opacification, which developed from extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation performed 4 years before presentation to our clinic. The patient reported floaters of 15 days duration. Slitlamp examination showed shallowing of the inferior and medial anterior chamber. Dilated pupil examination showed a peripheral capsular bag inferiorly and medially behind the IOL. The bag was distended and filled with turbid fluid. The central and superior capsule was absent as a result of the previous Nd:YAG treatment. The IOL lie over the anterior capsule, and peripheral capsule leaves' edges were adhered. An Nd:YAG laser puncture of the incomplete capsular bag resolved the condition.
