Abstract
Capsule contraction syndrome (CCS) is a rare but serious complication after cataract surgery. Several systemic and ocular
factors such as Pseudoexfoliation syndrome, uveitis, high myopia, diabetes mellitus, advanced age, trauma, and previous vitreoretinal
surgery promote capsular contraction. Surgical factors including small capsulorhexis size, IOL materials and design play an
important role to development of CCS and IOL dislocation. Surgical enlargement of the anterior capsule can be performed in severe
cases as an initial treatment or when the YAG capsulotomy is ineffective.
