Incidence and associated factors of posterior capsule opacification in pseudophakic patients at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common postoperative consequence of cataract surgery which may cause visual acuity reduction, yet the incidence in Indonesia has not been reported. The objectives of this study were to evaluate three...
