ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Lacteocrumenasia is a relatively rare postoperative complication of cataract surgery. It is classified as a late-onset type of capsular block syndrome (CBS) and is often accompanied by myopia; however, its mechanism is not clearly understood. Case Presentation We report a case of a 62-year-old male patient having CBS with myopia. The patient was treated with neodymium-yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy. We measured and compared the depth of the intraocular lens using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) before and after laser treatment. Treatment resulted in refraction improvement of more than 1.0 diopters. The intraocular lens depth before and after Nd-YAG laser irradiation had very mild changes of less than 0.05 mm, which did not explain the refractive changes.Conclusion:
Myopia in the early-onset type of CBS is caused by anterior deviation of the intraocular lens; however, the evaluation of this case using AS-OCT suggested that an abnormal intraocular lens position may not be involved in late-onset CBS.
