Posterior Capsule Opacification
Conditions
Keywords
PCO, POCO
Brief summary
The purpose of this study what to evaluate if axial myopia might influence the development of PCO.
Detailed description
We sought to prospectively compare PCO in eyes with myopia in relation to axial length with PCO in eyes with normal axial length, to decipher the role of axial myopia in PCO 4 years after surgery for senile cataract.
