Abstract: Posterior capsular opacification(PCO)is the most common postoperative complication of cataract surgery, and its occurrence and development are closely related to lens epithelial cells. Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet(Nd:YAG)laser posterior capsulotomy is a common method for the treatment of PCO. However, it has low universality and is associated with ocular complications. Therefore, the development of safe and effective strategies to prevent PCO remains a concern. This article reviews the pathogenesis of PCO and the technological progress of anterior capsular polishing in the clinical prevention of PCO.

Key words: Cataract, Anterior capsular polishing, Posterior capsular opacification, Lens epithelial cells
