Late capsular blockage syndrome (CBS) is a rare phenomenon which is found after cataract surgery. The mechanism, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) presentation, and clinical characteristics are not well studied. ⋯ High-resolution anterior segment OCT is useful for analyzing patients with late CBS. Our study implies that the two types of CBS presentation indicate different causes of late CBS formation, as well as distinct clinical presentation and postlaser capsulotomy refractive outcome. In addition, YAG laser capsulotomy is a safe late CBS treatment modality.
