Abstract

We have experienced six cases of postoperative capsular bag distension following continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis(CCC) and phacoemulisification with posterior chamber intraocular lens. Successful CCC, phacoemulsification and in the bag fixation of intraocular lens(IOL) were accomplished, and the optics of the IOL were made of silicone material in 6 cases. We have observed various degree of anterior chamber shallowing, anterior displacement of IOL, bulging of posterior capsule, and myopic shift of refractive error, and these findings improved by YAG laser anterior or posterior capsulotomy. Mean refractive change was +2.6D(diopter) at post-laser 1 day.
