Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a thinned lens with extensive synechiae between the iris and the anterior lens capsule (Figure 1, A). Intraoperatively, a dense pigment membrane was found adherent to the anterior lens surface, and the lens appeared white and absorbed (Figure 1, B) . After synechiolysis and capsulorhexis, a small amount of lens cortex was removed and fibrotic posterior capsule was noted; a posterior capsulotomy was performed before intraocular lens implantation (Figure 1, C and D) . One week postoperatively, CDVA improved to 20/32 . Lens absorption has been reported in hypermature and traumatic cataracts, as well as in uveitic or infectious ocular disease. 1,2 To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report to document such a case using both UBM and intraoperative photographs.  \nREFERENCES  \n1.
