“…These methods have fewer incidences of complications than intracapsular extraction with anterior chamber lenses [1][2][3][4][5]. These complications include posterior capsular opacification [6--8], malpositioning of the implant [9][10][11], pseudophakic retinal detachment [12], corneal endothelial cell loss [13][14], cystoid macular edema [15] and postoperative glaucoma [16][17].…”

Most, if not all, ophthalmologists strive to achieve a round pupil after cataract surgery with posterior chamber lens implantation. The presence of pupil abnormalities and iris modifications is cosmetically undesirable and may affect the quality of postoperative vision. The pupillary motility may be changed which will in turn affect both pupillary light reflexes and pupillary dilatation during fundus examination. In this paper, we prospectively studied 2 groups of patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery with posterior chamber lens implantation; 100 patients who had planned extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), and 130 patients who underwent phacoemulsification. On the first postoperative day, we found a 16% rate of pupil abnormalities in the group which underwent ECCE surgery while only 5.3% of the phacoemulsification group had pupil abnormalities. There were different causes in which the two groups. The most common cause of pupil abnormality after ECCE was due to iris sphincter rupture, whereas the most common cause after phacoemulsification was due to iris trauma during phacoemulsification. These pupil abnormalities are the direct consequence of factors in surgery and we suggest ways to minimize the occurrence of such abnormalities in cataract surgery.

“…1 Rigid, one-piece Choyce-style lenses were initially the most widely used. An increasing number of eyes with closedloop, semiflexible anterior chamber implants are now being seen with decreased vision due to corneal edema and persistent cystoid macular edema.…”

“…[1][2][3] An uncommon complication is pupillary capture, or entrapment. Pupillary capture occurs when part of the pupil margin is displaced posteriorly behind the IOL, which then appears to lie in the anterior chamber.…”

SummaryPupillary capture is a pathology commonly associated with traumatic or inflammatory processes of the eye. We present a case of idiopathic pupillary capture, 7 years after extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. This case highlights the need for ongoing patient surveillance, especially in elderly patients who are less able to detect subtle changes in their vision.
