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 ...
متن کاملCurrent 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...
متن کاملPosterior capsular opacification: a problem reduced but not yet eradicated.
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the most frequent complication of cataract surgery. Advances in surgical techniques, intraocular lens materials, and designs have reduced the PCO rate, but it is still a significant problem. The only effective treatment for PCO, Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy carries vision-related complications and risks and puts a significant financial burden on the health ...
متن کاملRefractive 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...
متن کاملposterior capsular opacification: hydrophilic acrylic versus pmma intraocular lenses
purpose: to compare the effect of implantation of a single-piece hydrophilic foldable acrylic intraocular lens (iol) with rectangular optic edge and a single-piece polymethyl methacrylate (pmma) iol with rounded optic edges on posterior capsular opacification )pco(. methods: this randomized clinical trial study comprised 74 eyes with senile cataract in an otherwise normal eye in patients older ...
