Risk factors for posterior capsule opacification following phacovitrectomy: a six-year retrospective analysis
IOL type is a key factor in development of visually disturbing PCO after phacovitrectomy. One hydrophilic acrylic IOL outperformed other examined IOLs in reducing YAG-CT incidence after PhV. Retinal disease, as well as type 2 diabetes, correlated with YAG-CT, and should motivate a choice of an IOL type associated with a low YAG-CT incidence for PhV.
