Phacoemulsification in patients unable to lie flat for cataract surgery: Face to face positioning with surgeon on the contralateral side.
dymium:YAG laser helps relieve capsular block by releasing the trapped liquid into the anterior chamber or vitreous cavity. However, laser application in a recently performed corneal transplant may cause graft failure. Needle revision of the capsular block described byMardelli cannot be performed accurately in a hazy cornea. Therefore, surgical intervention to reposition the IOL and release the trapped OVD was performed in our case. A high index of suspicion of CBS in a post PKP shallow anterior chamber and AS OCT imaging aided in early diagnosis, leading to prompt intervention and successful management of this condition.
