The human capsular bag model of posterior capsule opacification [PDF]
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication following cataract surgery and affects millions of patients. PCO is a consequence of surgical injury promoting a wound-healing response. Following surgery, residual lens epithelial cells grow on acellular regions of the lens capsule, including the central posterior capsule.

Femtosecond laser-assisted posterior capsulotomy for the treatment of capsular block syndrome
We present a novel use of femtosecond laser to treat capsular block syndrome (CBS) in a patient with dense opaque capsular block, who presented 16 years postcataract surgery.

Rapid posterior capsular opacification in two patients treated for negative dysphotopsias. [PDF]
Background Negative dysphotopsias (ND) are visual aberrations associated with in-the-bag optic intraocular lens (IOL) placement, causing arc-shaped or linear shadows.

Pathogenesis of posterior capsular opacification
We examined 895 eyes having extracapsular cataract surgery; 403 had an intraocular lens (IOL) implanted and 492 did not. The incidence of posterior capsular opacification was 7.69% in the eyes with an IOL and 14.23% in the eyes without an IOL. If we exclude complicated cataracts from the cases that did not have an IOL, the incidence of posterior ...

Introduction: Preexisting posterior capsular opacification is commonly seen in the developing world due to late presentation of patients for cataract surgery. Patients are implanted with either hydrophilic or hydrophobic IOL. Effect of these IOLs on pre-existing posterior capsular opacification has not yet been reported.Aim: To determine the incidence ...
