Mean area of the ACO and PCO at baseline and at the postoperative visits.
The area of the ACO decreased and the area of the PCO increased postoperatively. There was a significant difference in the area of the ACO between the baseline and the postoperative visits (*p < 0.05). However, for the area of the PCO, the only significant differences occurred in Groups B and C between the baseline and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively (#p < 0.05). Notes: ACO = anterior capsular opening; PCO = posterior capsular opening; mo = month.*p < 0.05, #p < 0.05.
