“…In our series, the diagnosis of true exfoliation was made by recognizing the double-ring sign and/or the presence of a split or rolled-up anterior capsule, which was strongly associated with true exfoliation [ 1 , 5 , 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. In 2 patients from our series, the anterior capsule had histological confirmation of the true exfoliation syndrome, with delamination and rolling up of the anterior capsule.…”

“…True exfoliation of the crystalline lens involves a splitting or delamination of the capsule. Historically, the entity has also been referred to as glassblower's cataract due to the known risk of prolonged exposure to heat and infrared radiation causing the condition [ 1 ]. Other ocular conditions associated with true exfoliation include age, trauma, uveitis and glaucoma [ 2 , 3 ].…”

“…In this case series, we report 6 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with true exfoliation of the lens capsule. We recognized the true exfoliation either preoperatively with a rolled up and/or split anterior capsule or intraoperatively by the double-ring sign [ 1 ]. All cases were performed under local anesthesia by the same surgeon (J.C.C.Y.)…”

Historically associated with glassblowers, true exfoliation of the crystalline lens involves a splitting or delamination of the capsule. We reviewed the phacoemulsification records of a single surgeon for patients with true exfoliation of the lens capsule. The incidence in our series was 2.2% (6 in 278 cases). The average age was 85.0 years. All patients had successful phacoemulsification outcomes, which may have been due to accurate recognition of the condition and appropriate surgical planning. Our findings support the notion that true exfoliation may be more often associated with advanced age rather than infrared radiation.

There seems to be a weak point of the capsular tissue in the border zone between zonular lamella of the lens and the capsule proper. The superficial splits that we found histologically in this region might be a precursor or forme fruste of true exfoliation. The outward-directed traction force exerted by the zonular fibers seems to lead to further disruption in this weakened layer of the lens capsule during capsulorhexis, producing a double-ring contour of the capsular margins.
