Published article - case 1 of 2. The patient had uneventful cataract removal with implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (iol) in the right eye. One day postoperatively no abnormalities were found on slit lamp examination. The patient was instructed to continue with postoperative medications and accommodating exercises with a recommended pair of +2. 00 diopter (d) spectacles. At the two-week visit, the visual acuity had improved. At six weeks, the patient noticed a gradual decrease in uncorrected distance and near visual acuities. Slit lamp examination revealed a vertically tilted iol with a thickened anterior capsule. An anterior capsulotomy was performed at 6 clock hour positions (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11) with a neodymium:yag (nd:yag) laser, and fibrotic band release was successful. The iol straightened immediately, and the patient regained an uncorrected acuity of 20/20 1 day post nd:yag. Six weeks after the nd:yag laser anterior capsulotomy, the uncorrected distance visual acuity (ucdva) in the right eye was 20/20-2, and the uncorrected near visual acuity (ucnva) was 20/60-2, with a manifest refraction of -0. 50 -1. 25 x 167. The anterior capsule had receded, and the iol remained stable. Study author has indicated that there is no further information on this case.
