Posterior capsule opacification in myopic eyes

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2006
To determine whether posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is extensive in eyes with myopia or long axial length when an intraocular lens (IOL) of low-power, zero-power, or minus-power, is implanted.Hayashi Eye Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan.Ninety eyes of 90 patients scheduled for phacoemulsification surgery were recruited.

Posterior Capsule Opacification

2021
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) remains a common complication following cataract surgery. The body’s wound healing response to surgical trauma causes residual lens epithelial cells (LECs) to multiply and migrate to the posterior capsule which subsequently scars (fibrosis), causing furrowing of the lens capsule in which the surgically implanted ...

Interventions for preventing posterior capsule opacification

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2007

Opacification of the posterior capsule.

Transactions of the ophthalmological societies of the United Kingdom, 1986
We found hyperplasia of the lens epithelium to be the most important feature contributing to opacification of the posterior capsule in a histopathologic study of 77 eyes obtained postmortem after extracapsular cataract extraction. Wrinkling of the posterior capsule appears to be caused by contraction of hyperplastic lens epithelial cells that have ...

[Posterior capsule opacification].

Journal francais d'ophtalmologie, 2015
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication after cataract surgery, with an incidence of 30%. It tends to be considered a normal event in the natural history of cataract surgery. Better understanding of its pathophysiology and advancement of intraocular lens material and design along with the improvement of phacoemulsification

A Review of Posterior Capsule Opacification

International Journal of Contemporary Surgery, 2014
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) or secondary cataract refers to the opacity that develops in the posterior capsule after cataract extraction. Extra capsular cataract extraction (ECCE) involves removal of all the lens fibres, leaving behind an intact posterior capsule and peripheral anterior capsule of the capsular bag for IOL implantation ...
