Purpose: To report our findings in a case that had an accumulation of a translucent fluid between the intraocular lens (IOL) and posterior lens capsule one day after vitrectomy for a vitreous hemorrhage.

Observations: A 67-year-old woman was diagnosed with diabetes 20 years before the vitrectomy and was treated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) 14 years earlier. She underwent cataract surgery with an implantation of an IOL 4 years earlier.

An 81-year-old patient was referred for an intraocular lens (IOL) exchange surgery because of a presumed IOL opacification. Using diagnostic imaging techniques such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Scheimpflug imaging, we revealed that the presumed IOL opacification was in fact a liquefied aftercataract. As a result, an intraocular surgery was avoided and the patient was successfully treated with a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy.

We describe our technique for the management of late-onset liquefied after-cataract (LAC) to ensure long-term visual axis clarity. The densely adherent anterior capsular rim over the intraocular lens (IOL) optic was released with the help of microvitreoretinal blade, and multiple relaxing radial incisions were made on the capsular rim to facilitate easy access to the capsular bag. A thorough capsular bag lavage was performed with the help of bimanual irrigation-aspiration.
