This is the case of a 64-year-old man who presented progressive decrease in visual acuity in the right eye of 2-year evolution without a history of ocular trauma. Using slit-lamp examination, we observed fusion of the anterior and posterior capsules in addition to fibrosis and central folding of the latter. An ultrabiomicroscopy performed showed the lens nucleus sequestered between both capsules at the 6 o'clock meridian with disruption of the posterior capsule. Femtosecond laser was applied to create a regular capsulotomy that would allow adequate capsular bag remnants for placement of a three-piece intraocular lens. Subsequently, the phacoemulsification technique was performed using this lens as a scaffold. The femtosecond laser proved to be a useful tool facilitating the capsulotomy steps and providing a suitable capsular bag remnants for intraocular lens placement.
