purpose: to evaluate changes in anterior chamber (ac) parameters before and one month after nd:yag capsulotomy. methods: a total of 30 eyes from 27 patients with posterior capsule opacification graded 2-4 with surgical history of uneventful phacoemulsification and acrylic foldable iol implantation were included in this study. before capsulotomy and one month later, anterior chamber depth, volum...

This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the capsular tension ring on posterior capsular opacity in comparison with cases undergoing intraocular lens (IOL) implantation alone. We analyzed 127 eyes which had undergone cataract surgery, including capsular tension ring insertion, along with 127 eyes which had undergone IOL implantation alone by the same surgeon from Septembe...

This complication in pseudophakic eye affects the visual recovery by impending light passing through the eye. Post operative proliferation of Lens epithelial cells in the capsular bag is central to the pathogenesis of PCO. In normal crystalline lens, a monolayer of epithelial cells are lined to anterior capsule, which is known as ‘A’ cells, which has minimal mitotic activity. At the equatorial ...

PURPOSE To develop and validate a digital imaging and analysis technique for assessing the extent of posterior capsular opacification after cataract surgery. METHODS Retroillumination images of the posterior capsule were obtained by using a digital camera mounted on a slit lamp. The images were analyzed using an available image analysis software program. The image acquisition and analysis tec...

Capsular outcomes of anterior/posterior capsulorhexis opening (ACO/PCO) are essential for performing a secondary in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation. To compare the capsular outcomes with different primary capsulorhexis sizes, Thirty-eight eligible patients (45 eyes) were randomly assigned to three groups by anterior capsulorhexis diameter (Group A: 3.0-3.9, Group B: 4.0-5.0, and Group C: ...

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 ...

The objective of this study was to investigate capsular outcomes 12 months after pediatric cataract surgery without intraocular lens implantation via qualitative classification and quantitative measurement.This study is a cross-sectional study that was approved by the institutional review board of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China.Digital coaxial retro-il...

BACKGROUND To introduce a novel surgical technique for optic capture by residual capsular opening in secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and to report the outcomes of a long follow-up. METHODS Twenty patients (20 eyes) who had received secondary IOL implantation with the optic capture technique were retrospectively reviewed. We used the residual capsular opening for capturing the op...
