This research describe a novel technique to enhance the removal of residual lens epithelial cells that may remain in the capsular bag. Foreign cataract surgery by rotating the intraocular lens to prevent the posterior capsular opacification. The primary treatment for PCO is capsulotome.
However, this procedure can cause changes to the shape of the posterior capsule, which may impact the placement of IOLs. This could potentially lead to suboptimal, long-term visual outcomes for patients with multifocal or toric IOLs. We have developed a technique for preventing PCO in cataract surgery by rotating the IOL inside the capsular bag, using Envision and aspiration tip.
This method for preventing PCO is simple and cost effective. It only requires one additional step during cataract surgery, reducing the likelihood of PCO and the need for future treatments. We plan to perform extensive research on various IOL designs and PCO with a significant number of participants included in both rotating and non-rotating designs.
Additionally, we'll conduct in vitro experiments on animal eyes to determine the effects of IOL rotation on equatorial cells.
