Reclosure of the PCCC occurred in both groups, although the frequency of reclosure was slightly higher in the inflammation group. Although PCCC does not prevent posterior capsule opacification in all cases, it is useful in specific situations.
Young adult eyes and eyes with underlying diabetic retinopathy or uveitis are at risk for total closure of the posterior CCC. Only young adult eyes required Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy after the posterior CCC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
