A Prospective Evaluation of Posterior Capsule Opacification in Eyes With Posterior Capsule Plaque-A Case-Control Study.

Purpose: To compare the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) between eyes with and without posterior capsule plaque after single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation 5 years postoperatively.

Design: A prospective observational case-control study.

Methods: One hundred one consecutive eyes with posterior capsule plaque (cases) were compared with the same number of cataractous eyes without posterior capsule plaque (controls).

The effect of single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses on the development of posterior capsule opacification.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term effect of a single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL), AcrySof SN60AT (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, Texas, USA), on the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) 5 years postoperatively.

Design: Prospective, observational, consecutive, case series.

Methods: setting: Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Center, Ahmedabad, India.

Incidence and influence of posterior capsule striae on the development of posterior capsule opacification after 1-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens implantation.

Purpose: To determine the incidence of intraoperative posterior capsule striae after implantation of a 1-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL), study the clinical impact on the patients' vision, and assess whether the presence of posterior capsule striae increases the risk for posterior capsule opacification (PCO).

Setting: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.

Design: Case-control study.

Rotational stability of a toric intraocular lens: influence of axial length and alignment in the capsular bag.

Purpose: To evaluate the rotational stability of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) using purpose-designed software and to determine the influence of axial length (AL) and in-the-bag IOL alignment on IOL rotation.

Setting: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.

Design: Prospective observational case series.

Posterior capsule opacification in eyes with steroid-induced cataracts: Comparison of early results.

Purpose: To evaluate posterior capsule opacification (PCO) development after cataract surgery in eyes with or without a history of steroid use.

Setting: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.

Design: Comparative case series.

Prospective evaluation of posterior capsule opacification in myopic eyes 4 years after implantation of a single-piece acrylic IOL.

Purpose: To determine whether axial myopia affects posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in eyes with high myopia (axial length [AL] > or = 26.00 mm) 4 years after implantation of an AcrySof single-piece intraocular lens (IOL).

Setting: Clinical practice, Ahmedabad, India.

Software-based assessment of postoperative rotation of toric intraocular lens.

A specially designed grid and software used to assess the postoperative rotation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) are described. Postoperatively, a digital retroillumination image of the patient is taken and this image is superimposed on the grid. The software determines the center of the IOL.
