| Sumario: | The posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common late complication after cataract removal. It is characterized by the development of a new barrier to the passage of light, especially when located on the optical axis, promoting gradual loss of vision. Various techniques have been developed with the aim of preventing PCO. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatment of acrylic IOLs using Fluorine plasma or polyethylene glycol (PEG) in prevent for PCO. Forty rabbit eyes that underwent phacoemulsification were used and distributed into four experimental groups (n = 10): Control group (CG), rabbits without IOL implantation; IOL group treated with polyethylene glycol plasma (GPEG), IOL group treated with fluoride plasma (GF), and commercial IOL group (GL). The posterior capsule of the lens were evaluated by histopathological analysis, including morphometric and immunohistochemical studies. The GPEG and GL groups presented thinner posterior capsule at initial assessment (12 weeks) compared to control group. At the end of evaluation (six months), the treatment of IOL surface with fluorine and polyethylene glycol plasma did not reduce the development of histological changes associated with posterior capsule opacification. The surface treatment of IOLs with Fluoride and polyethylene glycol can be performed as an adjuvant in prevention PCO, because it does not cause changes in the morphology of lens after phacoemulsification surgery |
