Effect of anterior capsule polishing on posterior capsule opacification and neodymium:YAG capsulotomy rates: Three-year randomized trial

Abstract

Polishing the anterior capsule was effective in reducing fibrotic opacification but ineffective in reducing regeneratory opacification. Changes in regeneratory PCO morphology not picked up by retroillumination photography increased the need for Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.
