The human capsular bag model of posterior capsule opacification [PDF]

, 2020
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.

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.

Effect of Anterior Chamber Depth on the Development of Post YAG LASER Capsulotomy Macular Edema [PDF]

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2022
Background: The most common long-term phacoemulsification cataract surgery complication is the opacification of the posterior capsule (PCO). This condition can lead to decreased vision, an impaired ability to distinguish between light and dark and the ...

Time Course of Lens Epithelial Cell Behavior in Rabbit Eyes following Lens Extraction and Implantation of Intraocular Lens

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2021
Background. After cataract surgery, some lens epithelial cells (LECs) transdifferentiate into myofibroblast-like cells, which causes fibric posterior capsule opacification (PCO).

Evaluation of posterior capsule opacification of the Alcon Clareon IOL vs the Alcon Acrysof IOL using a human capsular bag model

BMC Ophthalmology, 2020
Background Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery is influenced by intraocular lens (IOL) design and material. The following is an ex vivo comparison of PCO between the Clareon vs. the AcrySof IOL in human capsular bags.

Rapid and Economical Drug-Eluting IOL Preparation via Thermoresponsive Agarose Coating for Effective Posterior Capsular Opacification Prevention

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO), the highest incidence complication after cataract surgery, is mainly due to the attachment, proliferation, and migration of the residual lens epithelial cells (LECs). Although the drug-eluting IOLs have been proved

Study of Visual Quality and Higher Order Aberrations in Early Posterior Capsular Opacification. [PDF]

J Ophthalmol
Purpose: This study aims to explore the visual quality and characteristics of higher order aberrations (HOAs) in patients with early posterior capsule opacification (PCO), providing a theoretical basis for the clinical assessment of early PCO and the potential benefits of Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy.

Visual axis reopacification after Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. Case Reports
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) and anterior hyaloid face opacification are the two possible causes of visual axis opacification after cataract surgery, of which PCO is more common in adults.
