described in the literature as being opacified to some degree. In this case, however, the fluid was entirely transparent and there was a shallow anterior chamber, which are both said to be features of the early rather than the late type of CBS. However, the time of presentation was far beyond the 2-week postoperative window for the early type of CBS. This case is significant as it highlights the need for one to be vigilant for distension of the capsular bag, even in the absence of an opacified substance, long after the normal window for occurrence of transparent fluid early CBS of 1 day to 2 weeks has passed. Such a presentation might be even more pertinent in an eye that lacked posterior capsule opacification, where a bowed posterior capsule with an accumulation of transparent fluid could be a subtle sign that might be missed upon examination unless specifically looked for. All those caring for patients who have undergone cataract surgery should be aware of these features, including the very late presentation of a transparent form of CBS described here.
