摘要
In a patient with complaints of photophobia and an ocular deviation, straylight was found to be increased to 1.61 (log[s]), which is 5 times the normal value. The only relative clinical finding was the edge of a too small posterior capsulotomy. Visual acuity was normal. Six weeks after the posterior capsulotomy was widened to a diameter of 6.0 mm with a neodymium:YAG laser, the symptoms were resolved and the patient was satisfied. Stray light may manifest clinically as complaints of photophobia. Stray light increase, which can be related to slitlamp findings, may lead to an interventional decision. Our clinical decision-making was also guided by straylight measurements and proved to be crucial in resolving the patient's complaints. More study of clinical situations in which straylight measurement can be used is needed.
