Purpose: To compare the capsular and uveal reaction after implantation of a plate-haptic silicone intraocular lens (IOL) (C11UB, Chiron) and a hydrophobic acrylic (AcrySof MA60, Alcon) IOL in diabetic patients.
Setting: Moorfields Eye Hospital and St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To determine the effect of intraocular lens (IOL) material on the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) at 1 year.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To develop software to measure the severity of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) using analysis of retroillumination images and to correlate the results with clinical evaluation of PCO severity and visual function.
Setting: Department of Physics, King's College, and Department of Ophthalmology, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of 1-piece and 3-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) on posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery.
Setting: Ophthalmology departments of 3 hospitals in the United Kingdom and Germany and the Department of Physics at a United Kingdom university.
Methods: A series of 131 patients having cataract surgery had implantation of an acrylic 1-piece (SA30AL) or an acrylic 3-piece (MA30BA) IOL (AcrySof, Alcon).

Purpose: To investigate the value of early retroillumination imaging of the posterior capsule in predicting the eventual development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO).
Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, and Department of Physics, King's College, London, United Kingdom.
