Capsular Block Syndrome (CBS) occurs as a result of fluid accumulation behind the intraocular lens (IOL). It may cause visual loss if liquid becomes turbid or posterior capsule opacification develops. Some cases may be misdiagnosed by ophthalmologists. The whitish liquid may be misinterpreted as vitritis or IOL opacification. Deeply localized and opacified posterior capsule may be difficult to distinguish. 4 CBS cases who were misdiagnosed earlier are reported here. Three female, 1 male CBS cases suffering visual loss 2-4 years after Phaco surgery were falsely diagnosed and referred to our department . Age range was 40-72. Visual acuities were between 5/100 to 3/10. Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy was performed in all cases and their visual acuities improved to 8/10 in one case and 10/10 in three cases. Keywords : Late capsular block syndrome, Nd:YAG laser, posterior capsulotomy
