Effect of posterior capsule opacification on macular sensitivity

Neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy improved BCVA and macular sensitivity. The PCO scores correlated well with the PCO-induced decrease in BCVA and with PCO-induced loss of macular sensitivity. Functional macular mapping indicated an overall loss of macular sensitivity in patients with dry ARMD. There was no significant association between PCO values and macular sensitivity in eyes with dry ARMD.
