Conclusions 1. There was a statistically significant relation between the two genders,
males had a higher incidence of yag laser for PCO than females (P = 0.338)
2. In ECCE group, comparison between Three Piece against Single Piece all PMMA IOLs, with 13mm length and 6.5mm optic, showed highly significant decrease in PCO in the former group. (P=0.00061)
3.. In ECCE group alone, using all PMMA IOls, with or without Heparin Surface Modifications, showed statistically significant decrease in Yag Rate in HSM IOL subgroup (P = 0.0474)
4. In comparison between ECCE and Phaco groups using single piece all PMMA IOLs, the yag rate was higher in Phaco group (P= 0.00496)
5. In Phaco group, comparison between Single Piece all PMMA IOLs with and without Heparin surface modification, showed significant decrease in PCO with HSM group at 10% probability (P = 0.69)
