Figure 7

Slit-lamp photograph of capsular bag distension syndrome showing posterior bowing of the opacified posterior capsule with Elschnig pearls (left), Scheimpflug image based tomogram (top center) and Scheimpflug image (top right) showing capsular bag distension syndrome allowing for calculation of exact measurements of the distended posterior capsule, assessment of density or turbidity of the fluid, IOL position, and its relation to the capsular bag and iris to rule out pupillary block with pre-capsulotomy measurements. The post-capsulotomy tomogram (bottom center) and Scheimpflug image (bottom right) illustrate the change in measurements. Size of the distended capsular bag may help predict the refractive outcome after capsulotomy.
