This is a review of the literature on capsule contraction syndrome (CCS) in pseudophakic patients that involves severe fibrosis along the margin of the anterior capsule’s opening and progressive contraction of the capsular bag. Possible causes of CCS and principles of its prevention and treatment have been analyzed.

Keywords:

anterior capsule contraction syndrome
anterior lens capsule phimosis
pseudophakia
