Application of Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography to Objectively Evaluate Posterior Capsular Opacity In Vivo

Figure 6

Comparison between pear-type and fibrosis-type PCO. (a) Area of the two types of PCO; central refers to the full area of the IOL-posterior capsular space. 3 mm and 5 mm refer to the area of the 3 mm and 5 mm diameter range of the IOL optic region. (b) Thickness of the two types of PCO; central refers to the central point of the full IOL optic region and 3 mm and 5 mm refer to the point at the 3 mm and 5 mm diameter range of the IOL optic region. (c) Density of the two types of PCO; central refers to the full area of the IOL-posterior capsular space. 3 mm and 5 mm refer to the area of the 3 mm and 5 mm diameter range of the IOL optic region. (d) Objective score of the two types of PCO. A Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare the differences. .
