Abstract
Following extracapsular cataract extraction up to 50% of all patients have visual impairment from posterior capsule opacification. This opacification may be due to migration of residual anterior chamber epithelial cells onto the posterior capsule. There may also be a proliferation of scleral cells creating globular Elschnig pearls1,2.
