Abstrakt: Purpose:Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after intraocular lens (IOL) implantation has a multifactored pathogenesis. Capsulorhexis and capsular bag implantation of a one-piece, biconvex poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) IOL are likely to reduce the PCO incidence. This study was performed to determine whether an ideal capsulorhexis size able to reduce PCO incidence exists.
