POSTERIOR CAPSULAR OPACIFICATION INCIDENCE AND PATTERN IN KASHMIR VALLEY

Refractive Error and Anterior Segment Parametric Changes in Patients with Posterior Capsular Opacification after Nd: YAG Laser Posterior Capsulotomy

Background and Objective: Cataract is one of the most common causes of blindness in the world, and posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the most common complication after cataract surgery. Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy is a standard method for the treatment of PCO. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Yas laser capsulotomy on anterior segment parameters and lenticu...

Mitomycin against posterior capsular opacification: an experimental study in rabbits.

AIMS/BACKGROUND Posterior capsular opacification is the most common postoperative complication of extracapsular cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to attempt to inhibit this secondary cataract formation by using mitomycin (an antimitotic drug). METHODS A solution containing mitomycin was used to perform hydrodissection (with a 5 minute pause) during extracapsular lens extraction ...

Current improvements in interpretation of posterior capsular opacification images

We present application of curvature-driven min/max flow and anisotropic diffusion in processing posterior capsular (PCO) images. PCO images present the back surface of the lens implanted during cataract surgery and are used to monitor the state of patient vision. Our standard segmentation technique which based on variance based co-occurrence matrices often requires an enhancement of variance im...
