To compare posterior capsule opacification (PCO) with 3 intraocular lenses (IOLs) 12 years postoperatively. St. Erik Eye Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. Randomized clinical trial. Patients having unilateral standard phacoemulsification were randomized to implantation of a round-edged heparin-surface-modified (HSM) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) IOL,...

Purpose: To compare posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and glistenings 5 to 7 years after cataract surgery with implantation of 2 hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) and evaluate the effects on corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and contrast sensitivity. Setting: St. Erik Eye Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. Design: Randomized cl...

Purpose: To compare the degree of lens glistenings associated with three intraocular lenses (IOLs) of different materials and examine the relationship between the dioptric power of the optics and lens glistenings in a long-term study. Setting: St. Erik Eye Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. Methods: Forty-six eyes of 46 patients underwent standard p...

To determine the preoperative or postoperative patient-related factors that make patients benefit more or less from cataract surgery.

A total of 14 817 patients who underwent cataract surgery from 2000 to 2006 in 42 Swedish ophthalmology departments. The patients co...

To compare the effects of hydrophobic acrylic, silicone, and heparin-surface-modified poly(methyl methacrylate) (HSM PMMA) intraocular lenses (IOLs) on posterior capsule opacification (PCO). In this 5-year prospective study, the same surgeon performed standard phacoemulsification in patients who were randomized to implantation of a round-edged HSM...
