Anterior capsular phimosis with complete occlusion of the capsulorhexis opening.

摘要

We describe a case of anterior capsular phimosis with complete occlusion of the capsulorhexis opening following routine phacoemulsification and implantation with an AcrysofA~R intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon laboratories, Fort Worth, TX, USA). The patient had no relevant predisposing ocular pathology. Histologically, the occluding membrane was composed of proliferated fibrocytic cells, derived from residual lens epithelial cells within the capsular bag. The extent of this exaggerated response is very unusual in the presence of a hydrophobic acrylic IOL.
