Comparison of posterior capsule opacification rates between hydrophilic and hydrophobic single-piece acrylic intraocular lenses.

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.

Correlation between the measurement of posterior capsule opacification severity and visual function testing.

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.

Factors that influence the development of posterior capsule opacification with a polyacrylic intraocular lens.

Purpose: To identify factors that contribute to posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after implantation of a 5.5 mm polyacrylic (IOL).

Design: A retrospective analysis of a cohort of sequential images taken from the PCO database at St.

POCOman: new system for quantifying posterior capsule opacification.

Purpose: To describe a new method of measuring posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and intraocular lens (IOL) rotation and report the validation of the method.

Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, and Medical Imaging, Department of Physics, King's College, London, United Kingdom.

Effect of 1-piece and 3-piece AcrySof intraocular lenses on the development of posterior capsule opacification after cataract surgery.

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).

Predicting posterior capsule opacification: value of early retroillumination imaging.

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.
