Anterior capsule contraction syndrome (ACCS) is a condition that can occur after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation[1]. This disorder is secondary to an excessive contraction and fibrosis of the spared anterior capsule, which may result in the obstruction of the visual axis, or alternatively may cause late complications to the IOL, including pseudophacodonesis and IOL tilt, decentration, or dislocation[1].Several approaches have been used to treat this condition such as the use of Nd:YAG laser or through surgical treatment. In this case report we propose a multimodal therapeutic approach to successfully solve this post-surgical complication

Abstract

Anterior capsule contraction syndrome (ACCS) is a condition that can occur after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation[1]. This disorder is secondary to an excessive contraction and fibrosis of the spared anterior capsule, which may result in the obstruction of the visual axis, or alternatively may cause late complications to the IOL, including pseudophacodonesis and IOL tilt, decentration, or dislocation[1].Several approaches have been used to treat this condition such as the use of Nd:YAG laser or through surgical treatment. In this case report we propose a multimodal therapeutic approach to successfully solve this post-surgical complication
