Abstract
To describe the capsular bag distention syndrome after combined cataract extraction with posterior lens implant and aqueous drainage device. Case report. A persistently shallow anterior chamber and low intraocular pressure developed after combined cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implant and Ahmed aqueous drainage device. An optically empty space between the lens implant and posterior capsule was detected 18 days after surgery. The anterior chamber deepened within minutes after Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy. The capsular bag distention syndrome needs to be included in the differential diagnosis of shallow anterior chamber with low intraocular pressure after combined cataract extraction and glaucoma valve implant surgery.
