title: In-the-bag decentration of an intraocular lens in a patient with a tendency to hypertrophic scarring.
abstract: We report a case of rapid anterior lens capsular contraction leading to decentration of a hydrophilic acrylic lens with stiff haptics (Rayner design). To our knowledge, this is the first report to investigate early capsular contraction with folding of the haptic over the optic in a patient with a tendency toward hypertrophic scar formation.
