Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the incidence of significant posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and YAG laser capsulotomy among uveitic eyes after cataract surgery, revealing that about 16% of eyes experienced PCO with reduced visual acuity within a year.* -
- Analysis of 1,855 uveitic eyes found that younger patients, those with poorer preoperative vision, and postoperative inflammation were more likely to develop PCO, while younger age and female sex were risk factors for needing YAG laser capsulotomy.* -
- The findings indicate that PCO is common in uveitic patients post-surgery, with 22% of eyes undergoing YAG laser treatment in the same timeframe, emphasizing the need for
