Early capsular distension syndrome after sulcus implantation of intraocular lenses.
Two cases of early capsular distension syndrome (cds) are presented. the first occurred after sulcus implantation of a 12.0 mm poly(methyl methacrylate) iol (5.0 mm optic, 10 degree anterior angulation). the second case occurred after sulcus implantation of a foldable silicone iol with optic capture (6.0 mm optic, no anterior angulation). both cases resolved after a neodymium:YAG laser anterior capsulotomy. Cataract surgeons should be aware of the possibility of CDS after sulcus implantation of an IOL in the presence of an intact capsulorhexis and posterior capsule. A small capsulorhexis and in-the-bag capture of the IOL optic are major predisposing factors in this setting.
