We aimed to investigate the effects of intraocular lens (IOL) characteristics on PCO by comparing the incidence of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy for different types of intraocular lenses. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 2866 eyes that underwent cataract surgery between January 2010 and December 2017, with at least 5 years of follow-up. The IOLs used for surgery were the hydrophobic lenses SN60WF (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA), ZCB00 (Johnson &amp; Johnson Vision, Santa Ana, CA, USA), and MX60 (Bausch &amp; Lomb, Rochester, NY, USA), and the hydrophilic lens MI60 (Bausch &amp; Lomb, Rochester, NY, USA). We analyzed the incidence of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy according to the type of IOL used. Results: The incidence of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy was significantly higher with MI60 lenses (31.70%, 175\/552 eyes) compared to SN60WF (7.90%, 113\/1431 eyes), ZCB00 (10.06%, 64\/636 eyes), and MX60 (10.57%, 13\/123 eyes; p &lt; 0.001) lenses. The incidence of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy was significantly lower with the hydrophobic IOLs (8.68%, 190\/2190 eyes) than with the hydrophilic IOL (31.70%, 175\/552 eyes; p &lt; 0.001). Over time, the rate of increase in the cumulative number of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy cases was the highest with MI60. The cumulative rate of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy during the first 3 years was 4.90% with SN60WF (70\/1431 eyes), 6.76% with ZCB00 (43\/636 eyes), 8.94% with MX60 (11\/123 eyes), and 26.10% with MI60 (144\/552 eyes) lenses. Conclusions: The incidence of PCO is influenced by the material of the IOLs. The hydrophilic IOL was associated with a higher rate of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy than the hydrophobic IOLs, with a shorter time to Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59122173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,15]],"date-time":"2023-12-15T03:16:33Z","timestamp":1702610193000},"page":"2173","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Comparison of the Incidence of Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy Based on the Type of Intraocular Lens"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Yuri","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Sanggye Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Seoul 01757, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jae Suk","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Sanggye Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Seoul 01757, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bum Gi","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Sanggye Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Seoul 01757, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Je Hyung","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Sanggye Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Seoul 01757, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min Ji","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Sanggye Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Seoul 01757, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jee Hye","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Sanggye Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Seoul 01757, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6762","DOI":"10.1167\/iovs.15-17201","article-title":"Vision Loss Expert Group of the Global Burden of Disease Study.
