AIM: To evaluate the clinical effects of capsular sac relaxing surgery(CBRS)on capsular contraction syndrome(CCS). METHODS: This was a retrospective study, 8 patients(8 eyes)with CCS after cataract phacoemulsification. Eight eyes were treated by CBRS for a second continuous curvilinear capsularrhexis(CCC). Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), diameter of the anterior capsule opening, absolute spherical equivalent and Intraocular astigmatism were observed before and 1wk after operation.RESULTS: BCVA were significantly improved. The diameter of the anterior capsule opening were increased form(2.53±0.80)mm to(5.19±0.53)mm(P<0.01). The intraocular astigmatism were decreased form(-2.22±0.51)D to(0.44±0.55)D(P<0.01).CONCLUSION: CBRS is an effective method for patients with CCS.
