(a) Anterior segment photograph at 4th postoperative week. A large patch of iris pigment can be observed over the pupillary axis over the anterior capsule. Posterior synechia remained from 2 to 7 clock hours. Opacification of the anterior capsule was also present on the central region. Also, note an anterior synechia at 6 o’clock—where the worm was residing presurgically. (b) Fundus photo of the right eye (normal) and the left eye (affected) at 4th week of follow-up. No obvious vitreous or chorioretinal lesions were seen. Note the hazy fundus picture due to media opacity over the anterior lens capsule.
