Posterior capsular repositioning is a surgical procedure typically performed after cataract surgery to treat complications such as posterior capsule opacification (PCO). PCO occurs when the back part of the lens capsule becomes cloudy, impairing vision. The procedure involves repositioning the posterior capsule to allow for better visual outcomes.

In some cases, posterior capsular repositioning may be combined with laser treatment to clear the cloudy capsule, or an IOL may be repositioned for better focus. The goal is to restore the normal position and function of the posterior capsule, preventing further vision loss.

This procedure is effective in treating PCO and improving visual clarity, particularly in patients who have undergone cataract surgery and are experiencing vision problems due to capsule clouding.
