Background: To provide insights into the characteristic of ultra-late onset capsular bag distension syndrome (CBDS) after phacoemulsification. Design: An interventional, retrospective case series at a tertiary care institute. Participants: 5 Post-cataract surgery patients who presented with the retrolenticular fluid collection. Methods: This is an interventional, retrospective case series of 5 ...

PURPOSE To provide an overview of intraoperative and postoperative complications during phacoemulsification cataract surgery and to evaluate the visual results in patients having pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with 10 years of follow-up. METHODS Retrospective evaluation of intraoperative and postoperative complications and postoperative visual results in 134 consecutive patients who underwent ph...

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the most common complication of cataract surgery, occurring in up to 50% of cases, and a recent clinical survey suggested that the incidence is not declining in spite of improvements in surgical technique. At present PCO is treated by YAG capsulotomy, which carries a small risk of sight threatening complications such as cystoid macular oedema or retinal...

Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common long-term complication with more than 25% overall incidence within 5 years after cataract surgery of the human eye. The goal of the project described in this paper is to devise a fully automated, objective measure of grades of PCO from so-called retroillumination photographs. We review the current state of the art of existing PCO grading ...

AIM To evaluate the impact of 4 different intraocular lenses (IOLs) on posterior capsule opacification (PCO) by comparing the neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy rates. METHODS This retrospective study included 4970 eyes of 4013 cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation between January 2000 and January 2008 by the same surgeon at one cl...

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 ...

PURPOSE To describe a new model of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in rodents METHODS An extracapsular lens extraction (ECLE), by continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis and hydrodissection, was performed in 42 consecutive Brown Norway rats. Animals were killed at 0, 6, and 24 hours and 3, 7, and 14 days after surgery. Eyes were enucleated and processed for light microscopy and immunohist...
