[Spontaneous late subluxation of capsule, intraocular lens and capsular ring in patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome--a case report].

Abstract
The authors present a case of spontaneous late subluxation of capsule, intraocular lens and capsular ring in patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. A 78-year old woman was operated (phacoemulsification, implantation of capsular tension ring and intraocular lens) in the left eye in June 2001 and the same procedure was performed in the right eye in September 2001. No early postoperative complicantions were encountered. The patient was referred with vision reduction in the left eye in May 2004. Biomicroscopy revealed inferior dislocation of the capsular bag, capsular ring, and intraocular lens. Explantation of the whole complex and secondary anterior chamber lens was provided. The postoperative course was uneventful, and visual functions improved.
