| Abstract;We reviewed 50 eyes that received cataract surgery with maximum continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis(CCC) during a one-month period and that maintained CCC after 3 months. CCC during surgery was larger than the iris edge and the optics of intraocular lens(IOL). All the eyes had posterior capsular opacity of fibrosis type 3 months after surgery. There was no eye with pearl-type opacity. Adhesion between the anterior and posterior capsule was present in 19 eyes. Isolated fibrosis was present posterior to the IOL in 6 eyes. The size of CCC was very large in these 25 eyes. Fibrosis had formed in other 18 eyes either between anterior and posterior capsule, posterior to IOL, or along the haptics. CCC in these 18 eyes was generally smaller than the rest. The findings show that maximum CCC may result in lesser incidence of fibrotic posterior capsule opacification. (author abst.) |
