Assessment of Preoperative and Intraoperative Risk Factors of Posterior Capsular Opacification

Abstract

BACKGROUND 
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common complication of cataract surgery, leading to impaired visual acuity and reduced quality of life. Despite advancements in ocular surgical techniques, PCO remains a significant obstacle to achieving optimal visual outcomes. This study investigates the preoperative and intraoperative factors associated with PCO development in patients attending the ophthalmology outpatient department.
