Capsulorhexis with a slightly smaller diameter than the IOL optic appears to be better than a large-size capsulorhexis in reducing the incidence of PCO.

Viscoat and Healon GV are effective in minimizing functional damage of endothelial structure in the early medium-term postoperative period.

Functional endothelial failure occurred in the early period after ECCE. Phacoemulsification seemed to minimize postoperative functional damage to the endothelium.

Anterior chamber IOL implantation did not appear to alter corneal endothelial function. Results indicate that the endothelial cell loss was related to surgical trauma rather than the presence of an IOL in the anterior chamber.
