Factors Associated with the Development of Posterior Capsule Opacification Requiring Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Capsulotomy

Abstract

Results of this study suggest that development of visually significant posterior capsule opacification is associated with younger age, glaucoma, and hydrophilic intraocular lenses, and it occurs earlier among those with hydrophilic intraocular lenses and a history of uveitis.
