To describe a surgical technique to treat severe capsular contraction syndrome. A secondary continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis was performed in four cases of capsular phymosis, attended in our clinic. All of them resolved with good anatomic and functional results, no recurrence occurred and best correct visual acuity BCVA was preserved after a twelve- month follow-up. This surgical procedure could solve severe capsular contraction syndrome occurring after continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.
