We report two cases of capsular bag contraction that occurred within 1 month after continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification, and intraocular lens implantation. Neither patient had a known risk for this complication. Both patients had a neodymium:YAG laser anterior capsulotomy, which disrupted the capsulorhexis margin and led to prompt capsular bag distension.
