Abstract:In the era of refractive cataract surgery, posterior capsular opacity(PCO) and abnormal position of intraocular lens (IOL) became important factors of postoperative visual quality. This would be discussed from the perspective of capsule bend. Capsule bend is a barrier based on the adhesion of postoperative capsule and sharp optic edge of IOL. Completely adhesive types of capsular bend can not only effectively reduce the migration of lens epithelial cells, but also improve the stability of IOL (including axial movement, decentration, tilt and rotation). Based on the formation and evolution of capsule bend and its different types, this article explains the mechanism how the capsule bend prevent PCO and maintain IOL stability, which provides ideas and feasibility for improving postoperative visual quality of cataract patients.
