Lens Epithelium and Posterior Capsular Opacification 2014th Edition

Your Guide to Lens Epithelium and Capsular Opacification

This book is the first of its kind to summarize the current knowledge of the cell biology of lens epithelial cells in relation to the development of posterior capsular opacification (PCO). PCO remains the most common long-term complication of modern cataract surgery, and this book provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanism and biology of lens epithelial cells that lead to its incidence.

Key Features

• PCO in Detail: The first section of the text explains the molecular mechanism and biology of lens epithelial cells that lead to the incidence of PCO.
• Surgical Methods: The second part of the book, in addition to a description of the mechanism and pathological condition of PCO, discusses surgical methods and devices for preventing PCO in detail.
• Comprehensive Coverage: It provides a comprehensive overview of the cell biology of lens epithelial cells and its relation to the development of PCO.
• Broad Audience: The book will benefit not only young clinical residents and junior researchers, but also established faculty in the clinical or basic academic field.
