Abstract
PCO is reduced when the rhexis is in complete contact with the anterior IOL surface. The failure to achieve this accounts for the majority of increased PCO seen in patients implanted with this IOL model. PCO formation is related to surgical technique as well as IOL design, and comparisons cannot be made between IOLs without taking this into consideration. These results support the trend to the use of larger optic IOLs to prevent PCO and also support the “capsule compression” theory of PCO prevention.
