What is a Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO)?

PCO, or posterior capsular opacification, is very common. Many patients experience this condition after cataract surgery.

It represents a thin film that develops on the back of the intraocular lens (IOL).

Thankfully, treatment is very straightforward and easy. It’s a quick laser procedure that takes less than a minute and can restore your vision — getting you back to how well you were seeing right after your original surgery.
