Surgical outcomes after phacoemulsification are comparable with international benchmarks for good outcomes, with 85.4% of eyes achieving within 1 D of spherical equivalent of the refractive aim, 92.4% and 98.0% of eyes also achieving best-corrected visual acuities of 6/18 and better at 1 and 3 postoperative months, respectively. Unaided vision of 6/18 and better was also achieved in 85.4% and 85.9% at 1 and 3 postoperative months, respectively.

Aim: To report a rare case of anterior hyaloidal fibrovascular proliferation (AHFVP) which occurred after cataract surgery on a non-vitrectomized diabetic eye. This complication resulted in vitreous haemorrhage and hyphaema following a YAG laser capsulotomy procedure. Method: A case report of a patient managed at the above eye department. Clinical records as indicated in the patient's case note were reported. Conclusion: Anterior hyaloidal fibrovascular proliferation is a complication which an eye surgeon should bear in mind when attending to diabetic eyes after cataract surgery. The potential danger of vitreous haemorrhage following YAG laser capsulotomy should also be borne in mind, as more centres in the country aspire to acquire a YAG laser machine to perform capsulotomy.
