These automated image-analysis systems, such as the evaluation of posterior capsule opacification and automated quantification of after-cataract, provide an objective PCO assessment and are ...

With a thickness of just 4 µm to 9 µm, the posterior capsule is delicate — and, unfortunately, serves as the backstop for all the heavy demolition work being done on the cataract.

Three main types of lens opacity in age-related cataract are known: nuclear, cortical and posterior subcapsular cataract. Nuclear cataract is more commonly found in the elderly population and ...
