Heparin-coated IOL does not affect development of posterior capsule opacification
A hydrophobic acrylic IOL with heparin coating reduced flare 1 day postoperatively but did not reduce posterior capsule opacification more than an uncoated version of the same lens at 1 year, a study found.The prospective study included 102 eyes of 51 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and were randomized to receive an EC-1YH PAL heparin-coated hydrophobic IOL (Aaren Scientific) in one eye and an uncoated EC-1Y PAL IOL (Aaren) in the fellow eye.
