Abstract
After extracapsular cataract extraction with in-the-bag intraocular lens im plantation, a 72-year-old woman had reduced visual acuity from posterior ca psule opacification (PCO) resulting from Elschnig pearl proliferation. No c apsulotomy was performed, and the PCO decreased spontaneously over time, im proving visual acuity and leaving a clear capsule. J Cataract Refract Surg 2000; 26:779-780 (C) 2000 ASCRS and ESCRS.
