Abstract
Anterior capsularphimosis is the centripetal fibrosis and contraction of the capsulorhexis after cataract extraction. Individuals with zonular laxity are at increased risk for this condition. Mild to moderate amounts of phimosis are usually not visually significant, but severe cases may require treatment by Nd:YAG laser anterior capsulotomy. We report a case of a 9 year-old child, who underwent cataract surgery for congenital cataract bilateral, with posterior capsulorhexis and intraocular lens implantation, In the immediate , the patient recovered, for each eye, a visual acuity of 20/40 . The patient REPORTS with 9 months of gradually progressive deterioration of vision bilateral . at the ophthalmological examination visual acuity 20/400 ,capsule contraction syndrome on 360° degrees bilateral , with a clear visual axis.the treatment is by Nd: YAG laser anterior capsulotomy
