Resolution of negative dysphotopsia after laser anterior capsulotomy.

چکیده
UNLABELLED It has been suggested that a clear anterior nasal capsule contributes to negative dysphotopsia and that symptoms may resolve with opacification of the capsule. We describe a case in which negative dysphotopsia occurred despite a translucent anterior peripheral capsule and resolved following laser removal of the anterior nasal capsule.
