“…These immune cell types have been demonstrated to convert to αSMA+ myofibroblasts that are associated with the development of fibrosis [119,121]. A direct link between the inflammatory response to cataract surgery and post-cataract surgery fibrosis was shown in clinical studies which demonstrated that the use of anti-inflammatory steroid medications in cataract patients reduced PCO to levels that did not require surgical treatment to restore vision [190].…”

“…Indeed, it was actually found that anti-inflammatory treatment of patients undergoing cataract removal surgery resulted in a higher number of patients developing fibrotic PCO 4 years post-surgery than subjects treated with a placebo. A recent study, however, has suggested that a combined application of non-steroidal and steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs could more effectively lower PCO incidence relative to single drug treatments (Hecht et al, 2020). Moreover, Symonds et al (Symonds et al, 2006) demonstrated that the steroid dexamethasone, which is routinely administered to patients undergoing cataract surgery, improves cell survival and increases collagen type I synthesis in a rat lens explant model of J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f PCO.…”

“…Clinical studies can be further used to determine the effectiveness of treatments although there are a limited number of effective therapeutics to date. Hecht [127] presented a retrospective cohort study of 13,368 patients to examine the impact of steroids and NSAID therapy on PCO rates. The mean follow-up was 22.8 ± 15.7 months; a sufficient time period for PCO to develop.…”

Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication arising from the corrective surgery used to treat cataract patients. PCO arises when lens epithelial cells (LEC) residing in the capsular bag post-surgery undergo hyper-proliferation and transdifferentiation into myofibroblasts, migrating from the posterior capsule over the visual axis of the newly implanted intraocular lens (IOL). The developmental pathways underlying PCO are yet to be fully understood and the current literature is contradictory regarding the impact of the recognised risk factors of PCO. The aim of this review is firstly to collate the known biochemical pathways that lead to PCO development, providing an up-to-date chronological overview from surgery to established PCO formation. Secondly, the risk factors of PCO are evaluated, focussing on the impact of IOLs’ properties. Finally, the latest experimental model designs used in PCO research are discussed to demonstrate the ongoing development of clinical PCO models, the efficacy of newly developed IOL technology, and potential therapeutic interventions. This review will contribute to current PCO literature by presenting an updated overview of the known developmental pathways of PCO, an evaluation of the impact of the risk factors underlying its development, and the latest experimental models used to investigate PCO. Furthermore, the review should provide developmental routes for research into the investigation of potential therapeutic interventions and improvements in IOL design in the aid of preventing PCO for new and existing patients.
