2. 1. Posterior capsule opacification : An experimental study in vitro and in vivo

   Author : Niklas Wallentin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Posterior capsule opacification PCO ; after-cataract; lens epithelial cell; proliferation; aqueous humor AqH ; inflammation; growth factors; basic fibroblast growth factor bFGF ; transforming growth factor-β TGF-β ; extracapsular cataract extraction; corneal incision; rabbit; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

   Abstract : The clinical and economic significance of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) makes it an important public health problem. A better understanding of the pathogenesis in order to reduce/prevent PCO is needed. For this purpose an experimental model in the rabbit was used and further developed in thisthesis. READ MORE

4. 2. On posterior capsule opacification

   Author : Karin Sundelin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : posterior capsule opacification; quantification; capsulotomy; benefit; intraocular; lens; optic design; Catquest; Evaluation of Posterior Capsule Opacification;

   Abstract : AimsPosterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication after cataractsurgery. The aim of this study was to increase our knowledge about PCO regardingquantification, treatment effects and how different designs of intraocular lenses(IOLs) influence occurrence. READ MORE

5. 3. Posterior capsule opacification and postoperative endophthalmitis following cataract surgery : predictive and protective factors

   Author : Gisela Wejde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Posterior capsule opacification; postoperative endophthalmitis; cataract surgery; capsulorhexis; intraocular lens; acrylic hydrophobic IOL; HSM PMMA IOL; silicone IOL; round edge; sharp edge; prophylaxis; cefuroxime;

   Abstract : Modem cataract surgery with implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) is an increasingly safe and successful procedure, though complications still occur. This thesis addresses the most common complication, posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and the rare but serious complication postoperative endophthalmitis (POE). READ MORE

6. 4. Studies of the device perfect capsule in an animal model to reduce lens epithelial cell proliferation

   Author : Mahmoud Taie Abdelwahab; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The sealed-capsule irrigation device, the Perfect Capsule, is a surgical device designed to target lens epithelial cells (LECs) during cataract surgery and prevent posterior capsule opacification (PCO). This is especially important in cases in which the posterior capsule must stay intact after cataract surgery, such as when implanting accommodative lenses. READ MORE

7. 5. Quality and complications after cataract surgery

   Author : Margrethe Rønbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Research about IOL parameters` influence on posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and lens glistenings may be rapidly applied in clinical practice and may help the industry to manufacture intraocular lenses (IOLs) with higher quality, which will be of benefit to the patients. In paper I we compared the influence on PCO of 3 different IOLs; a sharp-edged hydrophobic acrylic, a round-edged silicone and a round-edged heparin-surface-modified polymethylmethacrylate (HSM-PMMA) IOL in a 5 year randomized prospective study with 180 patients.
