Abstract

Correction of the corneal astigmatism at the level of the lenticular plane has gained more importance presently in IOL implantation. The proliferation and differentiation of lens epithelial cells is the most common postoperative complication after uneventful cataract surgery and IOL implantation. This gives rise to condition called posterior capsule opacification (PCO), which is treated by Nd: YAG laser pulses. Bag-in-the-lens (BIL) implantation technique has been introduced recently. Surgeon control and centration is not an option in the more traditional IOL implantation techniques but the BIL offers this distinct advantage.
