Early caspsular block syndrome a case report and speculation about the size of the lens' optic as a risk factor

We present a case of early capsular block syndrome that was treated by re-operation on the second post operative day. We discuss the major characteristics of the syndrome, possible predisposing factors, therapeutic options and highlight the importance of its correct recognition. We also speculate about another possible risk factor, an intraocular lens with a optic part about 6mm or more.
