Impact of primary posterior capsulorhexis on regeneratory after-cataract and YAG laser rates with an acrylic micro-incision intraocular lens with plate haptics: 1-year and 3-year results.

The ZEISS Asphina 409MV plate-haptic acrylic IOL exhibited unusually high YAG-LCT and PCO rates with standard in-the-bag implantation. PPCR was safe and effective in preventing central opacification and the need for YAG laser treatment.
