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. Outcome after surgery of congenital cataract

   Author : Anna Lundvall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Congenital cataract; cataract surgery; intraocular lens; infant; paediatric; rabbit; complication; glaucoma; after-cataract; posterior capsule opacification.;

   Abstract : The visual outcome in infants undergoing surgery for bilateral congenital cataract has improved considerably because of improved surgical methods and the realisation that early detection, allowing early cataract extraction and immediate optical correction, can prevent otherwise irreversible deprivation amblyopia. The management of unilateral congenital cataract is still of the most difficult problems in paediatric ophtalmology. READ MORE
