A "dead bag syndrome" has been recently described, in which the capsular bag appears to be clear many years after surgery, becoming diaphanous and floppy and unable to support the intraocular lens within it. The exact etiology of the syndrome is unknown. The findings of cases suspected to be dead bag syndrome are described in this video and illustrated through surgical video clips, clinical photographs, and histopathological evaluation.
