Tek Taraflı İzole Epikapsüler Stara Sekonder Gelişen Görme Azlığı

We aimed to report a rarely observed case of unilateral epicapsular star and the visual impairment developed secondary to it. A 8-year-old\udgirl presented with a complaint of blurred vision in the right eye; best-corrected visual acuity was 0.7 in the right eye and 1.0 in the left\udeye. Near visual acuity was J1 in the right eye and J1+ in the left eye. The patient had no systemic disease and no clinical findings such\udas ocular inflammation, trauma, or history of use of topical and systemic drug. On biomicroscopic examination, no pigment deposition\udwas observed in the cornea of both eyes and anterior chamber was normal. The anterior capsule of the lens in the right eye demonstrated\uddense pigment depositions centrally which were obscuring the pupillary axis. Iris translumination defect was not seen. Gonioscopy was\udperformed and no pigment deposition was seen in the iridocorneal angle. Fundus examination revealed no pathology in the vitreous,\udposterior pole, and peripheral retina. In the absence of signs of intraocular inflammation and other causes of primary or secondary\udpigment dispersion, it is likely that the pigmented cells were implanted on the lens surface in utero from the developing iris pigment\udepithelium. In such cases, visual impairment should be detected in early period, and the strict follow-up is of utmost importance. (Turk\udJ Ophthalmol 2014; 44: 493-5
