Clinical presentation and management of anterior capsular contraction
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Purpose: Aim of this study is to analyze clinical presentation and predisposing risk factors of anterior capsular contraction following phacoemulsification and to assess challenges encountered in management. Methods: This is retrospective study of anterior capsular contractions of capsulorhexis following phacoemulsification. All patients were analyzed for clinical presentation by detail history and slit lamp examination. YAG laser capsulotomy or surgical excision of phimosis was done and various challenges encountered in management were detailed. Results: Total 20 patients (23 eyes), age between 26 years 72 years,, with 13 male and female 7 were analyzed retrospectively. The predisposing risk factors noted were Uveitis (7 patients), myopia (3 patients), pseudo exfoliation (2 patients), diabetes (3 patients), trauma (1 patient), both diabetes and uveitis (1 patient), Status post phacovitrectomy (1 patient) and no accompaniments in (2 patients). We managed 18 patients (21 eyes) by observation in (3 eyes), YAG laser in (7 eyes), simple surgical excisions in (8 eyes), excision with vitrector (1 eye), aspiration of milky fluid behind IOL from bag (1 eye) and phimosed dislocated bag removal from anterior chamber and intraocular lens (IOL) exchange with (SF) scleral fixated IOL (1 eye). Conclusions: Anterior capsular contraction is more common with patients with various risk factors and has varied clinical presentations. Simple procedures like YAG and surgical excision will help patients to restore vision.
