Abstract
We report a case of an 80-year-old woman who developed complete opacif ication and contraction of the continuous curvilinear opening 4 months after having phacoemulsification and implantation of a silicone plate -haptic intraocular lens. We performed a neodymium:YAG laser capsuloto my without complication.
