PURPOSE/METHODS: To describe a surgical technique to treat severe capsular contraction syndrome. A secondary continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis was performed in four cases of capsular phymosis, attended in our clinic.
CONCLUSIONS/RESULTS: All of them resolved with good anatomic and functional results, no recurrence occurred and best correct visual acuity BCVA was preserved after a twelve- month follow-up. This surgical procedure could solve severe capsular contraction syndrome occurring after continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.
