Mohammed Ziaei, MBChB, (Hons), FRCOphth, and Ali A Mearza, MB, BS, FRCOphth, present an 82 year old patient with complaints of reduced vision. During slit lamp examination she was found to have and extra layer of the anterior capsule floating in the anterior chamber. No phacodonesis was demonstrable despite bilateral bilateral 3+ nucleosclerotic cataracts. The rest of the ocular examination was normal. The patient underwent phacoemulsification under topical anaesthesia. After temporal clear corneal incision, vision blue was utilized to demonstrate the extra layer of the anterior capsule in the anterior chamber. Capsulorhexis was performed carefully ensuring that the extra layer of the anterior capsule was removed with no tags of the CCC margin remaining. The rest of the phacoemulsification procedure was unremarkable with in the bag implantation of a single piece acrylic intraocular lens (Rayner C-flex).
