With a posterior capsule opacification, the haziness you see will only get worse without treatment. Remember what your sight was like before undergoing cataract surgery? That's what your vision may be like if you opt not to have a YAG laser capsulotomy. Left untreated, the capsule will continue thickening.
Can posterior capsular opacification disappear?
In many cases this symptom fades over the first few months, but in cases where it persists, a YAG capsulotomy is an easy fix.
How can posterior capsular opacification be prevented?
The most important contribution to preventing PCO is to use an IOL with a square edge. In particular, I recommend using a 360° square-edged IOL. I do not think that the implantation of a capsular tension ring can reduce the incidence of PCO.
