The authors present a case of complete anterior capsule phimosis and vision decline which developed 4 weeks postoperatively in the right eye after uncomplicated cataract surgery. Prior ocular history included retinopathy of prematurity in both eyes, acute angle closure glaucoma in the left eye, prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy for a narrow angle in the right eye, and nystagmus in both eyes. This condition was addressed by surgically releasing the anterior capsule with microscissors to open the pupillary space which had been completely obscured by the anterior capsule, also causing the haptics of the 1-piece intraocular lens to deform. When cataract surgery was performed on his left eye, the surgeon performed prophylactic relaxing incisions at 4 points on the capsular opening. It is notable that his left eye did not develop anterior capsule phimosis postoperatively.
