Abstract

Anterior capsular contraction syndrome (ACCS) is a known complication of cataract surgery caused by fibroblastic metaplasia of residual lens epithelial cells. The disease may take an aggressive form in eyes with zonulopathy because of an imbalance of centripetal and centrifugal forces acting on the capsular bag. Hypotony is an uncommon complication of this syndrome which can be associated with ciliary body detachment. Presence of hypotony with severe ACCS in a patient of high myopia and previous scleral buckling is a therapeutic challenge which if not treated in time can lead to major vision threatening complications.
