The effect of capsule tension ring on posterior capsule opacification: A meta-analysis. [PDF]
BackgroundPosterior capsule opacification is one of the most common complications after cataract surgery. Studies have suggested that the introduction of a capsule tension ring might play a critical role in the prevention of capsule opacification, yet ...

Effect of surface-modified intraocular lenses on long-term postoperative inhibition of posterior capsule opacification [PDF]
We compared the posterior capsule opacification incidences at 5 years postoperatively and the neodymium–yttrium–aluminum–garnet capsulotomy rates at 10 years postoperatively for two types of intraocular lenses with different optical properties and shapes.

Visual Quality Assessment of Posterior Capsule Opacification Using Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS) [PDF]
Objective. To evaluate intraocular scattering in eyes with posterior capsule opacification by means of an objective scatter index (OSI) obtained from double-pass images of optical quality assessment system (OQAS TM II) and to determine the indication for

Artificial intelligence for posterior capsule opacification [PDF]
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) remains the most common long-term complication of cataract surgery, affecting up to one-fifth of patients within 5 years and often requiring neodymium: yttrium–aluminum–garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy.

Posterior capsule opacification
Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) is the most common complication of cataract surgery. At present the only means of treating cataract is by surgical intervention, and this initially restores high visual quality. Unfortunately, PCO develops in a significant proportion of patients to such an extent that a secondary loss of vision occurs.

A bibliometric advances in posterior capsule opacification. [PDF]
Background: Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a common postoperative complication of cataract surgery, often resulting in decreased visual acuity, reduced contrast sensitivity, and glare. Its incidence ranges from 5% to 50% within the first year after surgery, raising significant clinical concern.

Posterior Capsule Opacification: A Review of Experimental Studies [PDF]
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication of cataract surgery. It causes a gradual deterioration of visual acuity, which would otherwise remain improved after a successful procedure. Despite recent advances in ophthalmology, this complication has not been eradicated and the incidence of PCO can be as high as 10%.

Experimental models for posterior capsule opacification research
Millions of people worldwide are blinded due to cataract formation. At present the only means of treating a cataract is through surgical intervention. A modern cataract operation involves the creation of an opening in the anterior lens capsule to allow access to the fibre cells, which are then removed. This leaves in place a capsular bag that comprises

Posterior Capsule Opacification in Mice [PDF]
To present a new model of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in mice.An extracapsular lens extraction was performed in 28 consecutive mice. Animals were humanely killed 0 and 24 hours and 3 and 14 days after surgery. Eyes were enucleated and processed for light microscopy and immunohistochemistry.In 20 animals (71%), the eye appeared well healed ...
