Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
The slit lamp photograph (a), retroillumination image (b), focal illumination image (c), and an image from the fundus camera (d) show a vertically oval area of apparent posterior capsular defect (*), a white flap-like membrane (arrow) and anterior PFV stalk (#)
Figure 2
Figure 2
The ASOCT (a) showed an intact PC (*) and a hyperreflective membrane attached to the PC (arrow). The UBM image (b) (horizontal scan) reconfirmed posterior capsular integrity (*) and a membrane attached to the PC (arrow). The UBM scan through peripheral lens (c) showed some retrolental membrane, some of which were connected to the pars plana
