Optical coherence tomography evaluation of posterior capsule opacification related to intraocular lens design

Abstract

The PCT was most affected by IOL characteristics. Poly(methyl methacrylate) IOLs and IOLs with rounded edges were associated with higher PCT. Hydrophilic acrylic IOLs were associated with greater PCT than hydrophobic IOLs. Posterior capsule thickness was a factor in decreased BCVA.
