Abstract
A 42-year-old woman with a history of gradual painless loss of vision in the left eye was evaluated in detail. Clinical examination and anterior segment optical coherence tomography showed a corresponding triple-layered transparent tissue in the anterior chamber and behind the iris plane. Based on the evaluation findings and the evidence available in the literature, a possible diagnosis of spontaneously absorbed lens was made and secondary intraocular lens implantation in the bag was planned. However, the patient declined surgery and was lost to follow-up. Cases of empty capsular bag in routine clinical practice require detailed evaluation followed by an optimum surgical intervention to rehabilitate the eye to the fullest.
