title: [Effect of different shape and material of intraocular lens on posterior capsule opacification].
abstract: In this paper we compare 4 groups of intraocular lenses: PMMA, silicone, hydrogel, acrylic and their influence on posterior capsule opacification is discussed. The possible clinical consequences of different shape in optic part of intraocular lens is also described. This article contains also a short presentation of posterior capsule opacification mechanism and intraocular lens materials biocompatibility in in-vivo and in-vitro experiments.
