Abstract :

Posterior capsular opacification(PCO) has significantly impeded the delivery of successful cataract surgery with IOL implantation of 25 million blinds from cataract worldwide.1In our study, 100 eyes of patients who had undergone cataract surgery were included where we studied the incidence of PCO and its association with the type and size of capsulotomy. Incidence of clinically significant PCO was found to be 34% at the end of 1year duration, in which fious type of PCO was more common. PCO was found less in patients where Continous curvilinear capsulorhexis(CCC) was done compared to Canopenercapsulotomy. Also CCC which covered the optic margin of the intraocular lens(IOL) completely had less incidence of PCO compared to the CCC covering the optic margin incompletely
