Abstract | PURPOSE: SETTING: Hong Kong Eye Hospital, Kowloon, Hong Kong. DESIGN: Case series. METHODS: RESULTS: Twenty-four eyes of 18 patients were included. All eyes were confirmed to have true exfoliation syndrome by histological examination of the anterior lens capsule. Seven eyes (29.2%) had preexisting chronic glaucoma; 5 (20.8%) had laser iridotomy before the diagnosis. During phacoemulsification, all eyes had a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis without complications. Trypan blue staining was used during capsulorhexis in 11 eyes (45.8%). Posterior capsule rupture occurred during lens chopping in 1 eye (4.2%). No loose zonular fibers or radial extension of capsulorhexis occurred. Capsular bag IOL implantation was successfully performed in all cases except the 1 with a posterior capsule rupture, in which an anterior chamber IOL was implanted. CONCLUSIONS:
