Abstract:

The article presents the results of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) measurements of pseudophakic patients with anterior capsular contraction syndrome (CS).

PURPOSE

To analyze the results of UBM in capsular CS before and after laser treatment.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The study included 42 patients with capsular CS. The HI-scan ultrasound biomicroscope (Optikon, Italy) with 35 MHz UBM probe and the LPULSA SYL-9000 Premio laser (LightMed, Taiwan-USA) were used.

RESULTS

The shrinkage of the capsular bag of the lens was accompanied by a significant decrease in the diameter of the anterior capsulotomy opening, IOL decentration and its displacement towards the posterior pole of the eye, stretching or damage to the ciliary zonule, and an increase in the ciliary body thickness. In 2 cases, ruptures of the ciliary body and its separation from the place of attachment to the iris root were observed. The optimal algorithm of laser treatment was developed to minimize the risk associated with possible aggravation of the clinical manifestations of CS and possible complications during laser treatment.

CONCLUSION

UBM is an effective examination method for CS, which allows assessing the state of the capsular bag of the lens and the ciliary body, evaluating the effectiveness of laser treatment and predicting the risks associated with a high probability of complications.
