Double ring capsulorhexis: clinic opathologic study

DOI: 10.1590/S0034-72802013000200012

We present a case of double ring capsulorhexis in a 81 year-old female patient. Surgical specimen was submitted to histopathologic study resulting in typical double ring capsulorhexis findings. We discuss the questioned relation to true capsular exfoliation. We call attention to the fact that it is possible to obtain a good surgical result even when the double ring is not complete – as the case presented – , since both capsular flaps are fused in a continuous form.
