We present 3 patients diagnosed with myotonic dystrophy who developed recurrences of secondary opacification. One developed a dense posterior vitreous membrane. Patients with myotonic dystrophy may have an increased risk for recurrent secondary opacification and for developing intraocular fibrosis after cataract extraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
