INTRODUCTION
• Torsional fibrotic changes are sometimes seen in the anterior capsule following lens implantation
• Typically, these have a clockwise spiralling appearance
![Page 3: Torsional fibrosis in the anterior capsule following lens implantation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812f3d550346895d94d346/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
AIM
To study the evolution of spiralling changes and analyze their relation to patient factors

METHODS
• Retrospective study
• Screened 5000 images from our database of retroillumination images for eyes with typical spiralling
• The sequences of the images for each eye obtained
• For every image, the next non spiralling image from the database taken as control
• Images of the other eye extracted

METHODS • Changes in spiralling over time observed
• POCO software used to measure PCO
• POCOman software used to measure rhexis area
IOL power Capsulorrhexis size PCO percentage at 2 years
Compared to control eyes

CONCLUSION
• Spiralling changes are caused due to torsional forces induced while dialling the lens into the bag due to the IOL binding with the bag
• Spiralling appears to be induced at surgery and then remains unchanged
• These changes are more commonly seen with a smaller rhexis- presumably because there is more contact between IOL and the bag.
