Abstract :
In a fellow-eye-controlled trial, we compared the posterior capsule opacification (PCO) rates of single-piece (SA60AT) and three-piece (MA60AC) hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOL) in 54 pair-matched eyes of 27 age-related cataract patients who consecutively underwent bilateral (4-8 weeks apart) phacoemulsification; horizontal chopping performed through a capsulorrhexis of approximately 5- 5.5 mm in diameter followed by in the bag fixation of the IOL. PCO grading was done according to Evaluation of Posterior Capsule Opacification (EPCO) system1 by two independent observers
