This video, which won the 2022 Michael Blumenthal Award from the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, provides images and findings related to "dead bag syndrome." Clinical and surgical features of dead bag syndrome include no signs of zonular instability noted during IOL implantation but floppy and diaphanous capsular bag seen postoperatively, and initial subluxation of the IOL inside the bag (even when the bag itself appears centered).
