PARIS — IOLs specifically designed for microincision cataract surgery did not show an above-average incidence of posterior capsule opacification, according to a study. At the meeting of the French Society of Ophthalmology, Gilles Lesieur, MD, presented the analysis of a large series of 3,345 microincision cataract surgery (MICS) lenses.
