Aims: To report a case of very late-onset capsular bag distention syndrome (CBDS) 8 years after uncomplicated cataract surgery treated with Neodymium: Yag (Nd: Yag) laser posterior capsulotomy. Presentation of the Case: A 76-year-old female patient without any systemic or ocular disorders, presented with progressive blurry vision in her right eye (RE) over the last 1 year. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/9 in the right eye and 6/6 in the left eye. Manifest refraction revealed a 0.5 diopters myopic shift in her RE compared to her last ocular examination 2 years ago. Scheimpflug photograpgy and slit-lamp examination were utilized to make the diagnosis of CBDS, which was successfully treated with Nd: Yag laser posterior capsulotomy. At day 1 post-capsulotomy the BCVA of her RE improved to 6/6 with a 0.5 diopters hyperopic shift which was consistent with a 0.13 mm post-capsulotomy increase in the anterior chamber depth, as documented by the Scheimpflug images. Discussion and Conclusion: Late-onset CBDS can manifest after a considerable time period following cataract surgery and Scheimpflug imaging can be a useful aid for a precise diagnosis and documentation of the treatment.
