Abstract

Capsular block syndrome (CBS) is a complication of uncomplicated cataract surgery. Depending on etiology and the time of onset CBS can be subdivide into three types. The cases of 4 patients with CBS type III who presented with a milky fluid in the space between the posterior surface of the implanted intraocular lens (IOL) and the anterior surface of the distended posterior capsular bag are described. All patients complained of reduced vision. The therapy of choice is Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy but with suspected low-grade endophthalmitis surgical intervention can also be carried out and submitting the plug for bacterial culture.
