Fulltext PDFPurpose: To report a case of unilateral anterior capsular contraction syndrome (ACCS) occurring after bilateral cataract surgery in a patient with bilateral pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
A 65-year-old male patient underwent sequential cataract surgery. Both eyes presented pseudoexfoliation syndrome. The first eye had an uneventful postoperative course. The second eye, characterized by poor pupillary dilation requiring mechanical stretching without iris expansion devices and a relatively small capsulorhexis, developed anterior capsulophimosis two months after surgery.
Conclusion: ACCS is multifactorial. Pseudoexfoliation-related zonular weakness combined with surgical factors such as inadequate dilation and small capsulorhexis size may contribute to its development.
