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

2. On 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

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

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

5. Quality and complications after cataract surgery
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.
