Posterior Capsule Opacification in the Presence of an Intraocular Lens with a Sharp versus Rounded Optic Edge

Effect of Square-Edge versus Round-Edge Foldable Intraocular Lens in Prevention of Posterior Capsule Opacification

“…Our findings are consistent with those of Hayashi et al [12] , who reported no significant static change in visual acuity when comparing eyes implanted with rounded-edge and sharpedge acrylic intraocular lenses [IOLs] over a two-year postoperative period.…”

Comparison of posterior capsule opacification between fellow eyes with two types of acrylic intraocular lens

“…In a recent study, we found that the degree of PCO is very slight in eyes with the Sensar IOL that has a sharp posterior edge. 11 The present study further clarified that PCO, as well as visual function, did not worsen in eyes with either the AcrySof or the Sensar IOL for up to 2 years after surgery.…”

Influence of size of neodymium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser posterior capsulotomy on visual function

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Our studies showed that VA is correlated most strongly with the degree of PCO when it is so dense as to require an Nd:YAG capsulotomy, 7 whereas contrast sensitivity or glare disability is deteriorated most prominently, without significant loss of VA, when the PCO is slight. 8 It is clear that all of the visual functions improved after Nd:YAG capsulotomy, but the degree of improvement may depend on the size of the capsulotomy. Indeed, several studies showed that glare disability was worse with a small capsulotomy than with a large capsulotomy.…”
