A 65-year-old, systemically stable female, underwent uneventful Right eye phacoemulsification with in the bag intraocular lens implantation. After 2 months, she presented with diminution of vision in right eye. On examination, best corrected visual acuity was 6/18 and slit lamp examination revealed quite anterior chamber with anterior capuslar phimosis [Figure 1]. The fundus examination revealed quite vitreous with attached retina.{Figure 1}

Capsular phimosis is usually seen in patients with history of pseudoexfoliation, diabetic retinopathy, myotonic dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, uveitis, Marfan's syndrome, high myopia or other factors associated with weakened zonules.[1],[2] Capsular phimosis is associated with size of capsulorrhexis, retained lens epithelial cells, and IOL position.[3] The most frequent method of treatment is Nd: YAG laser anterior capsulotomy.[3],[4]
