Bilateral manifestation of severe anterior capsule contraction syndrome after implantation of a preloaded intraocular lens.

摘要

The pathogenesis of ACCS appears to involve anterior lens epithelial cells (LECs) myofibroblastic metaplasia and contraction of the fibrous membrane, as well as its outgrowth from the capsule margin.Several conditions (pseudoexfoliation syndrome, uveitis, advanced age, retinitis pigmentosa, trauma, diabetes mellitus) leading to instability of the blood-aqueous barrier have been identified as risk factors for the development of the anterior capsule contraction syndrome.
