The rate of PCO was significantly higher with the hydrophilic IOL. However, the results cannot be attributed to the IOL material alone as they show the importance of both IOL material and design.

Variance in intensity of PCO was successfully used to calculate the severity of PCO.

There was no evidence of a difference in the area of PCO after cataract surgery between 1-piece and 3-piece IOLs, which were otherwise matched for material and lens geometry.

The POCOman is an effective, user-friendly system for quantifying PCO. It can be obtained for free and has advantages over other methods.

Retroillumination imaging of the posterior capsule 6 months after cataract surgery predicted the PCO outcome at 2 years in eyes with foldable IOLs.

In diabetic patients, hydrophobic acrylic IOLs can lead to an increased flare in the early postoperative period but they seem to be more favorable than plate-haptic silicone IOLs because the latter lead to more PCO.
