The square optic edge is the most important IOL design feature for PCO prevention. However, it should be present for 360 degrees around the IOL optic to provide an effective barrier effect.

The square, truncated optic edge is the most important IOL design feature for PCO prevention. The optic-haptic junctions of the 1-piece designs appear to be sites where the barrier effect of the truncated optic edge is less effective.

We describe a revised Miyake-Apple technique to prepare cadaver eyes. A plastic mold is used to hold the globe for marking and to facilitate inverting the globe. This decreases vitreous loss and creates a more secure eye. The method is easy, decreases the learning curve, and increases the quality of the prepared eyes.
