After conventional extracapsular cataract extraction and in-the-bag intr aocular lens (IOL) implantation 3 years previously, the partially cut su perior one-third of the anterior capsulotomy flap resealed in the eye of a 55-year-old woman. With the integrity of the capsular bag restored, it distended fully; the IOL was in the center and milky fluid accumulated inside. A neodymium:YAG laser was used to drain the milky fluid and di srupt the opacified anterior and posterior capsules, restoring vision.
