Lens Epithelial Cell On-Growth

KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS 

• Lens epithelial cell on-growth (LECOG) is one of the phenomena associated with capsular bag biocompatibility that has been reported in many IOLs with different types of biomaterials. 

• The chemical and physical properties of IOL biomaterial is considered to play an important role in the LECOG’s etiology with other contributing factors. 

• LECOG is usually self-limited without impact on patient’s vision and the need of intervention. However, in severe and persistent cases, Nd:YAG laser treatment may be safely applied to restore patients’ vision.
