Over a period of 5 years, the lenses of a patient with a unilateral posterior subcapsular cataract were documented using Scheimpflug slit-image photography. For the first time ever, a growth spurt was observed of the cataractous lens. It is postulated that this could be a reflection of either a mitotic spurt of the lens epithelium or a failure of compaction of the deeper lens fibres.
