title: Wavefront analysis and ultrastructural findings in an eye with posterior lentiglobus.
abstract: An 8-year-old girl with unilateral posterior lenticoglobus underwent lens aspiration and intraocular lens implantation. Wavefront analysis performed before surgery to assess the surgical indication showed a higher-order aberration of 0.502 μm root mean square. After surgery, the value decreased to 0.132 μm root mean square. Preoperative best-corrected visual acuity of 0.1 improved to 0.3 postoperatively. Electron-microscopic examinations of the posterior capsule revealed unusual nodular structures and variations in capsular density.
