Posterior capsular opacification prevention: IOL design and material [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1999
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) occurs in up to 50% of eyes following cataract extraction1 and its treatment with Nd:YAG capsulotomy is not without complications. PCO also has important implications in the developing world,2 where it may increasingly become a significant cause of treatable blindness.

Posterior capsular opacification after cataract surgery [PDF]

Eye, 1999
This is a review of the current status of clinical research on the prevention of posterior capsular opacification (PCO), which is now the commonest complication of cataract surgery occurring in up to 50% of patients by 2 to 3 years after the operation.

Effect of posterior capsular opacification removal on automated perimetry [PDF]

Eye, 2005
Although posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common phenomenon in a considerable number of ophthalmologic patients, no prospective controlled trials assessing its influence on automated perimetry exist. This technique continues as a standard in the diagnosis of glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmological diseases.

Diabetic Retinopathy in Primary Healthcare in a Brazilian Municipality: A Cross‐Sectional Study Using Teleophthalmology

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was estimated to be 28.3% (95% CI 21.1–35.4), with most of the cases corresponding to mild non‐proliferative diabetic retinopathy. ABSTRACT Background Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes and the leading cause of irreversible blindness in people of working age.

LPCAT3 as a Potential Drug Target for Ultraviolet Radiation–Induced Cataract: Insights From Multiomics Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a major risk factor for cataract development, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process, particularly the involvement of regulated cell death pathways such as ferroptosis, remain unclear. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses were performed on lens tissues from UVB‐induced cataract rat ...

All that Glitters is Not Gold – Diagnosis and Misdiagnosis of Intraocular Lens Opacification

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology
Intraocular lens opacification (IOL) is an uncommon but known entity. As the opacification involves the substance of the IOL and not the posterior capsule, as seen in posterior capsular opacification, neodymium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet (Nd:YAG) laser ...

CD44 and Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO)

The FASEB Journal, 2008
PCO arises from epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) of lens epithelial cells remaining behind following cataract surgery. In cancer systems, CD44 mediates changes that eventually result in EMT, although CD44 function in EMT has not been previously studied in the lens.

Prevalence and outcome of lens capsule disruption in routine canine cataract surgery: A retrospective study of 520 eyes (2012–2019)

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 141-149, March 2025.
Abstract Objective To investigate the prevalence and surgical outcome of lens capsule disruption (LCD) in dogs undergoing cataract removal. Animals studied Medical records of 924 eyes undergoing phacoemulsification were analyzed retrospectively. Procedures Routine cataract surgeries with or without LCD were included. Any LCD other than routine anterior

Postoperative Outcomes of “Optic Capture” Technique of IOL Implantation in Pediatric Cataract Surgery

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (PCCC) with optic capture of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) without anterior vitrectomy in preventing secondary opacification of the visual axis ...
